Channel 1 is a license-able channel for it is within the GMRS radio band so the emergency channel should be channel 9, just like it is in the CB radio band. Actually I have 2 ffrs/gmrs radios, so I can monitor Channel 1 as well as Channel 9 for emergency (just in case it is also used for emergency as of on cb ch 9).

license (though most people don’t) to transmit on that frequency even though some frs operators do use that channel for communications, without a GMRS License. Now, if people are monitoring channel 1 for emergencies, that means that, to transmit on channel 1, the person would have to have a G.M.R.S. Then I heard that the GMRS band is channels 1-7, then 15-50, leaving the FRS band to be channels 8-14, which would actually mean that the channel 9 in that band could be used for emergencies. I’ve always heard that the FRS band consisted of 14 channels, meaning channels 1-14 and, 15-50, is the GMRS band.Ģ. Here’s the same comment, but in sentence case (only minor grammatical mistakes were fixed, no opinions were changed, and these are not my own opinions):ġ. I KNOW THAT I’VE SAID ALOT BUT THESE ARE MY FEELINGS ON THE RADIO SERVICES. THAT MORE CTCSS/CSS OR PL TONES SHOULD INCREASE IN NUMBER AS WELL TOO, AS THE RADIOS INCREAS THEIR CHANNELS TO BE USED ON A GMRS BAND, THE FRS CHANNELS SHOULD INCREASE AS WELL, NOT TO MENTION

I WOULD J UST WISH THAT THE FCC WOULD ACTUALLY TELL PPL VIA THE MEDIA(NEWSPAPERS, NEWS CASTS, INTERNET, ECT) AS TO WHAT CHANNELS ARE TO BE USED FOR WHAT PURPOSE, AS WELL AS DESIGNATE THAT AS THE CHANNELS INCREASE WITHIN THE RADIOS THAT ARE OUT ON THE MARKET, THE FRS BAND SHOULD EVEN OUT THE FREQUENCIES FOR BOTH BANDS THE FRS, AND THE GMRS RADIO BANDS, PLUS ALLOWING THE FRS RADIO USERS TO ACCESS FREELY THE FREQUENCIES 462.675, AND, 467.675, BOTH FOR MAJOR EMERGENCY USE THEY CAN EVEN MAKE UP THEIR OWN CALL SIGNS TO COMPLENTTHE CHANNELS, ON THE MURS BAND AND ON FRS CHANNEL 9 AS WELL, i USE THE MADE UP CALL SIGN: KRCT-1033, AFTER ALL THAT IS THE ACTUAL FRS BAND. CHANNEL 1 IS A LICENSEABLE CHANNEL FOR IT IS WITHIN THE GMRS RADIO BAND SO THE EMERGENCY CHANNEL SHOULD BE CHANNEL 9, JUST LIKE IT IS IN THE CB RADIO BAND. ACTUALLY I HAVE 2 FFRS/GMRS RADIOS, SO i CAN MONITOR CHANNEL 1 AS WELL AS CHANNEL 9 FOR EMERGENCY(JUST IN CASE IT IT ALSO USED FOR EMERGENCY AS OF ON CB CH 9). LICENSE(THOUGH MOST PPL DON’T) TO TRANSMNIT ON THAT FREQUENCY EVEN THOUGH SOME FRS OPERATORS DO USE THAT CHANNEL FOR COMMUNICATIONS, WITHOUT A G.M.R.S. TO TRANSMIT ON CHANNEL 1, THE PERSON WOULD HAVETA HAVE A G.M.R.S.

NOW IF PPL ARE MONITORING CHANNEL 1 FOR EVERGENCIES, THAT MEANS THAT, THEN I HEARD THAT THE GMRS BAND IS CHANNELS 1-7, THEN 15-50, LEAVING THE FRS BAND TO BE CHANNELS 8-14, WHICH WOULD ACTUAQLLY MEAN THAT THE CHANNEL 9 IN THAT BAND COU LD BE USED FORO EMERGENCIES, I’VE ALWAYS HEARD THAT THE FRS BAND CONSISTED OF 14 CHANNELS, MEANING CHANNEL,S 1-14 AND, 15-50, IS THE GMRS BAND.
