To anyone that is interested, below are the cooresponding frequencies for the GMRS/FRS radios:
NOTE:
ALL GMRS/FRS radios are the same freq/channel assignment whether it is a Midland, Motorola, etc

CH Frequency
08 467.5625
09 467.5875
10 467.6125
11 467.6375
12 467.6625
13 467.6875
14 467.7125

Below is an example picture of what the GMRS/FRS radios typically look like. REMEMBER, the FRS channels are the "free" channels, so-to-speak, and are the above channels that are listed!!! Those channels are STRICTLY FRS channels/frequencies!!! As @moodywizard stated, you should be able to program anyone of these frequencies into the dual band Baofeng radios that most people have!!! So, if you are one of those people that have these radios, your group can program their radios to these frequencies and use them instead. Now, it is a matter of gray area laws that come into play here as far as "legal issues" are concerned. BUT, technically, as far as frequencies are concerned, it is a FRS frequency, minus the wattage!!! It's like a non UL and/or DOT approved device is NOT approved, but when paired/linked/connected to a UL and/or DOT approved device, it is, for all intents and purposes, "approved"!!! VERY LAME!!! But, that is my understanding, LOL!!! Like I said, "it's shi-, but not really shi-, until they say it is shi that it truly is shi-???!!! LMAO!!!

 

I think for the price this might be a better radio

They look kind of small...

T4R seems to use CB more from what I've seen so maybe that's why you're seeing that?

The "weatherman channel" isnmt safe...

You're evil! I like it...

Wouldn't do you any good. The radios have a transmission ID that they send out every time you talk so they'd be able to tell its you. Also the hams and cbs operate on way different ranges

I knew about it...

Why I hope to never have to ride in your truck again

 

The test is not easy. I believe the basic test has a huge question sample space. I've taken sample tests, they are hard as shit with random assed questions like how is this antenna better for city use?

 

Should of known you and @Nicklovin were teaming up against everyone!

 

Yes, those GMRS frequencies are achievable on the Baofang but they are also only allowed to be used at 0.5 Watts. They are meant for home use like a speaker from your front door to kitchen

 

I believe there are 700 questions in the pool

 

God damn Randy wish i knew of someone to publish your book!You deserve a book or two or three or!

 

OK, who opened the HAM Radio can of worms again???



Pirate radio for the win bitches...

 

@MADSTEEZE warned me of the storm that would come, but all I did was link an Amazon prime day deal to a Ham radio and this is what happened.

 

I don't think it was your fault, whoever brought up the legality of it is to blame lol.

 

Way to go!

You mock me with this pic

Shhhhhh. Let him think its his fault

 

Oldie but a goodie!Didn't even cross my mind!

 

has anyone been out to Old Dale Mining District? I have a group who is going to allow me to join their trips int he Fall when they start going again

 

LOL!!! @BLKTRUCK Oscar and @dtaco06 Danny call my posts, "Randy's wall"!!! LMAO!!! Bro, I just wish I knew how to make my postings smaller, LMAO!!! Hey, blame it on @Nicklovin Nick as he is the one that tagged me to chime in, LOL!!!

Btw, here are the local "WEATHERMAN" frequencies that are helpful to know as well. Punch these numbers into your radio as well and you should here the NOAA weather constantly being updated through the automated voice! Truly something that is handy to have from time-to-time! My CB doesn't have this feature/option, but my 2m Yaesu mobile does!

NOAA radio frequencies (a.k.a. weatherman) to make note of that are handy to have for sure!!!
162.400
162.425
162.450
162.475
162.500
162.525
162.550

 

LOL!!! That was me, most likely, but hey, I was tagged, posted my 2cents... and yes, whether anyone wants to hear it or not, you need to be careful and/or think about the ramifications of doing such "off banding" because you MAY be interrupting Fire services as they do do non-repeater conventional type radio communications as well!!! You can't just pick a frequency and say F'IT!!! Just because your car can do 120+ doesn't mean that you CAN do it as you are putting other peoples lives in danger as well!!! Just a point to think about for sure. Just to let you know, I worked very closely with Fire public safety radio communications either AT the stations themselves or at the dispatch centers. Possibly disrupting, for example, Long Beach Fire Sta# 16 (airport station) operations can be a VERY SERIOUS thing because of obvious aviation activity. The possibility of disrupting is unlikely, but my point being just the fact of that being a possibility for annnnnnnnywhere of doing such off banding activity!!! Again, just my 2cents on the matter and I was pretty much tagged as such. Other than that, obviously I can't stop anyone from doing it other than just give deeper thoughts to think about when doing things like that. Finally, I don't necessarily agree with ALL of the laws as some are just complete BS, but things that I do know, as far as radio communications, there are reasons for the certain laws for such activity!!!

with ALL that said, Happy Wheel'n either way people and just be safe out there!!!

 

No no it wasn't you hahaha, don't blame yourself. This had all started before you chimed in

 

This, right here. Bring on the torches and molotovs we're ringing in the anarchy.
