Updated February 2018 to include changes from FCC Part 95 reform.
All of our FRS and GMRS consumer radios operate on either the GMRS or FRS channels, and most support both. We are sometimes asked for the exact frequencies of these channels. Below is a table showing the channel number, type of channel, and the frequency.

Hello, I need some help. I am looking at picking up some radios for work purposes. I work in executive protection so I need a few radios to use amongst the agents at venues. With that said, I currently have a GMRS radio license and the radios I am gravitating to are the Radioddity GD-55 DMR. My questions are;
1) Can I use two or more GD-55s without programming them (are they pre programmed to default freq)?
2) Can I purchase the radios and program the GMRS frequencies into the radio?
3) If the answers to both 1 & 2 are no, can anyone recommend a good alternative radio (other than the Walmart bubble pack radios)?
Thanks for your help
Try the app Wish, they have mobil radios in that freq.
Get a Amature radio license and use an amateur radio. You also may use a repeater for much greater distance communication
So i have the Baofen Uv-82, now im new at this stuff but i have tried to research it online. I need tp connect to a specific channel example 19.2 for emergency needs. Would the frequency be just 19 GMRS 462.6500? Can anyone help with this?
Bob, channel 8 is likely assigned with a privacy code on the MS350. Try clearing out the privacy code (aka interference eliminator code) and you should be able to hear the transmission from the Cobra.
For more information on privacy codes, watch Radio 101 - Privacy Code Issues on GMRS Radios.
Did you found a solution on you problem - I have the same issue, and have not idea what to do
not really, transmitting on these frequencies require a teck one ham radio licence according to the instructions in the radios I bought which I have currently
There are several antennas available that should work with the MXT-105. Midland recommends RG174 coax and we carry two pre-made cables. For a list of compatible antennas and cables, check out our MXT 105 accessories.
My mistake its a MXT-105
I have a midland MXT-150 gmrs micro mobile that I use for a base .What kind of base antenna can I use for it and what kind of coax ?
I have an older Cobra Microtalk Frs-100 that has freq"A" which is = 467.5625. I also have a Motorla MS350. On that radio channel 8 is =467.5625. When I transmit on the 350 to the Cobra they can hear me but when they transmit on the Cobra to the 350 we can not hear that transmission. Why, and is there a way to pair the two? isn't there two freqs in a radio equation a trans freq and a rec freq? If so how can I find out the T/R freqs for both the radios? if so how to pair them.
I recently picked up a pair of Motorola MS350R's and a pair of T600's. I have all 4 radios set to the same channel (5) and privacy code (2). The MSR350R's seem to work flawlessly, and while I have no issues transmitting with the T600's, recieving transmissions is buggy at best, either I only recieve the tail end of the transmission or nothing at all. Both T600's seem to have issues but one is so bad it's almost useless, any suggestions would be appreciated.
The Motorola Talkabout MS350R is an FRS/GMRS radio and is pre-programmed to FRS and GMRS frequencies. It is not programmable to other frequencies.
The repeater frequencies are also pre-programmed into the radio and are specifically assigned to GMRS repeaters. The MS350R cannot be programmed for business repeater frequencies.
I have Motorola ms 350 r frs/gmrs radios. is there a way to reprogram a business freq for repeater of 460.725 rx and 465.725tx on this radio what kind of tone squelch system do they use?
No it is not. You must apply and pay for a separate license
You can also try adjusting the squelch to avoid picking up noise from unwanted transmissions.
Hi Keith, the frequencies of FRS/GMRS radios are typically pre-assigned to the channels of the radios, one frequency per channel. These frequency to channel assignments are not standard and may change between makes and models of FRS/GMRS radios. For instance, the shared FRS/GMRS frequency 462.6375 may be assigned to channel 4 on one brand and a different channel number on another brand.
Nevertheless, consumer FRS/GMRS radios are generally pre-programmed at the factory by the manufacturer.
Looking at buying 6 radios they have 8 channels will I need a different feq. for each channel If I am using all the channels
Hi Tim, if you are referring to the Baofeng UV-5R, or similar Baofeng models, they are not designed for use as police scanners and are not really the best choice for that function, as their scanning rate is too slow.
Also, these radios are not Part 95 type accepted for FRS, GMRS or MURS, and they do not meet operating requirements of FRS or MURS, so we do not recommend or endorse their use on those frequencies.
However, the UV-5R is Part 90 type accepted for use as a business radio and is repeater capable, as you said, so they can be used for business and commercial applications on the business radio service. They are also capable amateur radios.
I have found the best way to use 2 way if get like a couple baoffeng raidos witch are basically police scaners but the ptt ability and program one of the channels for a 2 way frequency and if you program a repeater code as well your range goes up to around 100 miles or so you can get these raidos on ebay for 25 a raido
