Color Dot/Star Itinerant Frequencies
These are typically used by low power business radios. Users might include construction site operations, schools, events, fast food drive ins, and other miscellaneous business uses:

Family Radio Service (FRS) Frequencies
These are in use by low power hand-held transmitters typically used by families, children, and campers to communicate. Shopping malls, theme parks, and special events are all great locations to monitor FRS communications. No FCC license is needed.

Multi-Use Radio Service (MURS) Frequencies
The Multi-Use Radio Service is a low power, short range VHF Citizens Band service in the 150 MHz band.
MURS is intended for short-range local communications. Antenna height is limited to 20 feet above structure or 60 feet above ground, whichever is the greater. Very narrow bandwidth transmissions (maximum 11.25 kHz channel bandwidth, with +/- 2.5 kHz deviation) are permissible on all five MURS channels. The older +/- 5 kHz deviation signals (with a maximum 20 kHz channel bandwidth) are also permitted (but not required) on the two upper channels (in the 154 MHz band).
Channel Frequency 1 151.8200 2 151.8800 3 151.9400 4 154.5700 5 154.6000
General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) Frequencies:
The General Mobile Radio Service (formerly known as Class A of the Citizens Radio Service) is a personal radio service available for the conduct of an individual's personal and family communications.
An FCC license is required, and persons operating under a personal license may operate on any GMRS frequency. There is no requirement for frequency coordination or any other special permission, and all licensees must cooperate in the selection and sharing the available channels.
Several of the channels are shared with the FRS channels, although GMRS users are legally allowed 5 watts of power versus 0.5 watt for FRS.
