That allocation in the UHF pool is back as the General Mobile Radio Service 
(GMRS) and Family Radio Service (FRS).  The UHF frequencies that had been 
allocated for this service were integrated into the other UHF land mobile 
pools, then pulled out again when the FCC created GMRS and FRS.  PLMRS 
(Private Land Mobile Radio Service) users who were licensed and coordinated 
on channels that became part of the GMRS were offered the option to move or 
remain on the frequency on a shared-channel basis.

Commentary:  Many of those that remained on their channels seem to forget 
about shared-channel usage ;-)
