GMRS — The Family Band That Actually Works

from Prep Comms · host Caleb Nelson

What you'll learn (fast): Why GMRS is the practical "bigger brother" to FRS: same 22 channels, different rules, more capability. The license is simple: $35, 10 years, one license covers your whole household (apply at FCC.gov). Range reality: terrain + antennas matter. Main channels allow up to 50W transmitter output; interstitials are lower. Privacy tones ≠ privacy. GMRS is open-air. You must ID every 15 minutes and at the end. Why certified radios matter (and why new FRS/GMRS combo handhelds aren't sold anymore).
