· 8 Channels - Easy access to all 8 PMR channels. · 121 Privacy Codes - 38 CTCSS codes and 83 DCS codes provide a total of 121 privacy codes. · Up ...

i have 7 GMRS/FRS radios and no gmrs liecence nor do i plan on getting one as i wish to only use the FRS channels

the manual on the maxus radios stated that only channels 1-7
are FRS only and the manual on the motorola talkabout radios
stated that channels 8-14 are FRS only

BUT at the FCC web site stated that 1-7 are "shared" between GMRS/FRS and 8-14 are strictly FRS only

basicly what im asking is can i use channels 8-14 on my maxus radios without the need of a GMRS liecence?

You may use channels 8-14 without a license. You may use channels 1-7 without a license ONLY if you use *low* power. Use of high power puts your power output over legal FRS power limits.

You could eliminate all confusion and just get a GMRS license. This will allow you full use of all channels.

Those who say it is all right to use all channels without a license are criminals. You are doing the right thing by asking your questions and operating within the limits of your operating authority.

I just received my two way FRS/GMRS radio’s in the mail. I had to get a license from the FCC to talk over the GMRS side of the radio. I sent my $85 to the FCC for a 5 year license and got an email back saying that they received it. Can I now talk on it or do I have to wait for some kind of license in the mail??? Anyone know about how this works??? Thanks

You may begin using your radios as soon as your call sign appears in the FCC database. You do not have to wait for your paper license to arrive. Your authority to operate will be granted as soon as your call appears.

Output power does not in and of itself determine range. This is typically a myth. Nowadays, manufacturers tend to inflate their wattage figures and report power output BEFORE the antenna, rather than the actual Effective Radiated Power (ERP) that is actually emitted into the air.
The most important determining factor is the design of the antenna system. Manufacturers vary on their designs of antennas. A more efficient antenna will radiate RF energy more effectively. A poorly designed antenna will not. Many radios advertised as "5 watt" radios actually emit only a watt or so into the air. This is due to an inefficient, or poorly designed antenna.
