GMRS Radio Frequencies and Channels

GMRS Radio Information

GMRS, short for General Mobile Radio Service, is a mobile UHF 2-way radio service in the U.S. that requires users to obtain a license. This frequency chart also applies to FRS, or Family Radio Service, as GMRS and FRS use the same frequencies and thus, can communicate with each other.

Why Do I Need a License for GMRS?

The FCC allows GMRS radios to have more power than CB and FRS radios, up to 50W versus the 4 watts allotted to CBs. The GMRS spectrum is broken up into 22 channels, which are shared with FRS, with 8 additional repeater channels (15R-22R) that are exclusive to GMRS and may only be used by licensed GMRS operators. GMRS frequencies range from 462.5625 to 467.7250.

I’m setting up my new second Polaris Ranger with a CB for the trails and hunting time. Right Channel is the best place for getting your Communications needs for your rigs for com’s.
This is my third setup I’ve gotten, my other setup is in my Ram Mega Cab for when we’re on the road with others.

Fast shipping and quality products.

Looks good, 3/8 – 24th thread should go well with my ball mount and spring. Wanted something a little shorter than the 102 inch whip on days when I don’t wanna have an obnoxious antenna on my car.
Plan to use it for CBN for 10 m.

My order for the Midland 75-822 CB radio and Little Will antenna came quickly. I am impressed with the quality and the ease of use for the Midland handheld CB. I am able to move it between vehicles easily and use battery the battery packs if on foot. Reception is excellent and clear. I highly recommend this little CB radio and the Little Will antenna.
