Family Radio Service Frequencies, (FRS)
GMRS and FRS are both citizens band allocations. GMRS is a licensed
radio service, authorizing higher power and flexibility. FRS is
unlicensed and has significant restrictions.
FRS frequencies are interleaved with GMRS frequencies. GMRS radios
are also authorized to transmit on FRS channels 1 to 7 with no more
than 5 watts and using 5 KHz deviation. GMRS uses 467 MHz frequencies
as repeater input channels. All FRS channels are simplex, with 3 Khz
deviation and 500 milliwatts.

FRS Common Tone Frequencies
Not all FRS/GMRS radio tone channels are the same!
When using "mixed" radio types, test them with tone first,
or turn tone "OFF".
Many radios from different manufacturers use a common set
of tone numbers (or "channels"). The list below includes
the common set, plus a few columns for radios that use
different sets of tone designators.
The common set is used in radios manufactured by:
Cobra, Kenwood, Midland, Uniden, and Motorola, (except "Sport")

MURS is a private, two-way, short-distance voice, data and image communications
service for personal or business activities of the general public.
The maximum effective radiated power is 2 watts. You can use an external
antenna, but it cannot provide any gain.
NO license is required.
The authorized transmit/receive frequencies are:
151.820, 151.880, 151.940, 154.570, 154.600 MHz.
The authorized bandwidth on 151.xxx is 11.25 kHz and on
154.xxx is 12.5 kHz.
