Does getting the GMRS license allow me to use the GMRS frequencies? I was confused by someone mentioning Part 90 and Part 95 certified.

The Federal GMRS license is obtained from the FCC for a cost of $85 and is valid for 5 years. It is required in order to use the GMRS frequencies within the United States. If you have the license then you can use the any of the GMRS frequencies. Equipment must be type-certified for use in the 450-470 MHz band, 50 watts max, any antenna. There are frequencies within the GMRS band that are free to use without any license. These frequencies are referred to as FMRS but are limited to only 1/2 watt and only the attached rubber duck antenna is allowed. This really limits the usable range of communication but it does have its applications. I hope this helps some.

These radios are primarily meant to be used on the 440 mhz amateur band,whick requires a ham radio license. Using it without a license and knowledgeof repeater frequencies could illegally trigger amatuer repeaters.They will tune somewhat above and below the 440mhz band. but you mustinquire the FCC for that legality. the main reason they may not be used without license is they put out either2 or 5 watts which is above the part 19 no license limil.Lee Miller

None for these two way radio's that I am aware of, only for GMRS radio frequencies. (http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/general-mobile-radio-service-gmrs)

You can set the frequency to be the same on the 4 radios. The list of possible frequencies is set and is the same for all radios in the FRS/GMRS class.

If you're looking for a radio you can use without a license, then no, it is not a good radio for that purpose. This radio is not Part 90 (commercial land mobile) or Part 95 (FRS/GMRS, etc.) certified. If you use it as received from the factory, you'll be transmitting on commercial and public safety channels, so could get in a lot of trouble very quickly (with fines exceeding $10,000). If reprogrammed for ham radio 70cm band and you're licensed, then yes, it can be used legally. If reprogrammed for FRS, then you'll be illegal due to power levels and the removable antenna. If reprogrammed for GMRS AND you have a license, then you'll be on shaky ground, but the chance of getting caught is small. If you're looking for a good "family" radio and don't want to get a license, then stay with FRS radios and stay off the GMRS channels (Channels 15-22 on Motorola radios). The short answer is that is that it is NOT a good solution for a low cost, LEGAL, easy to use radio for unlicensed family use. There are no frequencies you can program this radio to for use without a license and remain legal.

Nope, the MH230R is a UHF GMRS transceiver and you must have a GMRS license to use it. It is not compatible with VHF MURS frequencies.

GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) is a UHF frequency communications band between 462.550Mhz and 467.725Mhz, which is well within the operation limits of this radio. Keep in mind that this radio is not GMRS approved and that it's illegal to transmit on GMRS frequencies without a corresponding GMRS radio license from the FCC.

Yes, Any individual in the United States who is at least 18 years of age and not a representative of a foreign government may apply for a GMRS license by completing the application form (either on paper or through the FCC's Universal Licensing System) and paying the license fee (currently $85.00). No exam is required. A license for a GMRS system is usually issued for a 5-year term.

Yes they can be, if you only operate on FRS or MURS frequencies. Those frequencies are open to everyone, no license required.

Roberto, I am new to looking for GMS/GPS/GPRS equipment and I was glad I found your question and the answer. Could you please tell me amount the "remotes" is about? I think I know this one but I want to be sure. Second you talked about SMS. What is SMS and do you know the cost of the assembly of this unit? Thanks for your help. Jason Barron

No. This radio transmits in the 70cm and 2m bands, which are restricted to licensed amateur use. It does not include the GMRS allocation. It will receive on those frequencies, however.

As of May 20th, 2015 The FCC removed GMRS from regulatory fee service. https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-15-59A1.pdf

Hi...., I think I know what you are asking, so I'll try to answer as best I can. Simplest answer is yes, the 22 channels are the same across the board. So if you bought a unit in California, it would still be able to communicate with the same channel in Connecticut for example (where I am). Not to say that they get that range of course...lol, we wish yea? So, Channel 1 is 462.5625 (FRS).....Channel 15 is 462.5500 (GMRS) no matter where you be. The fix to this for users who are close to each other, and have ANY radio that transmits these freqs, are the security codes that you see/read about in the discription. There are many, hundreds to choose from, depending on the maker of radio...etc. So....a unit on channel 15 set with the security code of say 22. (15/22) would be able to chat with any other unit set to same...The rub is this, and I think the solution to your quandary, is that the radio set to 15/22 can NOT, chat with a user close by that has their radio set to 15/41. How did I do...?

Dear Sir,please let me inform you that US civil channel is 462-467.You needn't get the licence in these frenquency. Otherwise, If you are going to use the radios in the amateur radio 440MHz band, then you'd need an amateur radio license. If you are going to use the radios in the GMRS service, then you'll need a GMRS license.

Operating frequency is what is set aside by the FCC for you to transmit on. Anything out side of that is unlawful to talk on . On the two meter band it's 144.0 to 148.0. If you have a general class license you can operate on all Amateur Bands. The are some bands where you are only allow to operate within a certain band plan the FCC has set up. If you are Extra class you can use all of the bands plans that have been set a side for Ham radio.
