What is GMRS?
In layman’s terms, GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) is a licensed radio service, which primarily uses channels, located between 462 MHz and 467 MHz. The use of these channels is to cover short-distance, and two-way communications with the help of hand-held radios, also known as repeater systems and mobile radios.
FCC Regulations Updated March 30, 2021
At one time GMRS licenses were issued to businesses, but this is no longer the case. Here is a note from the FCC’s GMRS license application form (form 605):
Note: For GMRS: effective January 1, 1989, new or major modification applications may NOT be filed by non-individual (business) applicants/licensees. (See Rule 1.929(c) (4) & 95.5(b).
For GMRS radios to be legally used by businesses, each person using the radios would need an individual GMRS license. Requires a $35 FCC License – (License is good for 10 years and covers the whole family.). A business could use the radios on FRS channels 1-7 and 15-22 without a license at up to two watts, but when using FRS channels 8-14 the radio cannot transmit at more than a half watt of power. This is generally only good for a quarter to a half mile of outdoor range on those specific channels.
