Business radios are programmed to specific frequencies assigned to licensed users. Consumer FRS/GMRS radios are pre-programmed to the exact frequencies assigned for those services. In addition to the GMRS frequencies, there are other standard frequencies for general use. These are known as dot or star frequencies.
