Frequency Charts
The 22-channels assigned to the FRS and GMRS radio services are all shared, meaning that FRS operators can talk to GMRS operators, and vice versa, on all 22-channels. Channels 15-22, however, offer GMRS users the highest power option, so these are preferred for tactical communications.
While the FCC determines the frequencies and privacy tones used in the FRS and GMRS radio services, channel and tone numbering is left up to the manufacturer. The ACS-CERT Communications Plan uses the Motorola FRS Channel Numbering Standard.
Note: Material presented here on purposely does not include information or advice about licensing, governmental authorizations, radio rules, or legalities concerning radio frequencies. Please see other radio forums for greater focus on such issues.

If you’re looking for a radio for group communication off-road, we recommend getting both a compact base unit to mount in your vehicle AND a handheld unit for when you need to hop out of your vehicle.
Rugged Radios is our preferred brand when it comes to overland/off-road/race communications.
