 GMRS Description
The GMRS is comprised of twenty-three individual frequencies, organized into two groups: the "regular" or "primary" channel pairs (frequency pairs) shown in Table 1, and the "split" or "interstitial" frequencies shown in Table 2.
Unlicensed operation of a GMRS transmitter, including on the "split" frequencies shown in Table 2 (except by FRS radios), is punishable by a monetary fine of up to $10,000 for the first offense, even more for subsequent violations.
GMRS radios (often combined with FRS radios, and sometimes mistakenly marketed as FRS-only radios not needing a license) are commonly available from most consumer-electronics stores nationally, and from a variety of sources advertising on the Internet.
