FRS/GMRS combined channel chart

From The RadioReference Wiki


Current FRS/GMRS Channels (effective September 28, 2017)

  • Note that the old GMRS channels (the 462 MHz splinter channels and the 462/467 repeater channels) were not required to narrowband.
  • FRS channel numbers commonly used by 22 channel radios are shown in the leftmost column.
  • Most 22 channel radios of this type which were formerly marketed as GMRS/FRS combination radios (radios that are not capable of repeater operation, do not include the repeater input frequencies, have a maximum power of 2 watts and have a non-detachable antenna) have been reclassified as FRS radios.

Old FRS/GMRS Channels

  • FRS radios with 14 (or fewer) channels and up to 1/2 watt power output are still manufactured and sold.

Notes

Midland and Cobra Extra Channels

  • Midland and Cobra make radios with up to 38 "Extra Channels" (for a total of 40, 50 or 60 channels depending on the model).
  • These extra channels are simply existing FRS/GMRS frequencies with hard coded tones, and fixed low power on the 467 MHz channels.
