Not true.

There are 16 frequencies for GMRS and 14 for FRS period end of story.
That doesn't prevent manufactures marketing them however they want to
but there are no official channel numbers for GRMS.  They are
generally referred to as "550" or "650" depending upon their
frequency.

I have one radio, a 2 watt Midland, that only has the 15 "462 MHz"
frequencies.  Channels 1-7 are FRS 1-7.  "Channel 8" on that radio is
462.550 then 462.575 and so on.

462.5500        GMRS
462.5625        FRS 1
462.5750        GMRS
462.5875        FRS 2
462.6000        GMRS
462.6125        FRS 3
462.6250        GMRS
462.6375        FRS 4
462.6500        GMRS
462.6625        FRS 5
462.6750        GMRS
462.6875        FRS 6
462.7000        GMRS
