GENERAL MOBILE RADIO SERVICE (GMRS)
GMRS is a two-way personal radio service available to an individual
(one man or one woman) to facilitate the activities of the individ-
ual's immediate family members. GMRS is not authorized for busi-
ness uses.
Users must cooperate in the selection and use of channels to make
the most effective use of them and reduce the possibility of inter-
ference. Channel 9 –15 are shared with FRS channels. You can
communicate with any FRS radios on these 7 channels. FRS is a
UHF two-way voice communication service for family, friends and
associates to communicate among themselves within their neigh-
bourhood and while on group outings. Eight GMRS channels are
authorized for repeater operation*.
