[ICOM] 12V base station that can be operated on the GMRSFrequencies

[Kay W. Hargis]

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your reply.... GMRS can only run 5 watts maximum to an
external antenna... It is interesting, and I need to look into it to see
if GMRS requires "Type Acceptance" radios to be used.  GMRS overlaps
some frequencies with FRS, FRS is a license free service, GMRS is a
licensed service but they are allowed to communicate with each other on
the "Shared" frequencies... Interesting question you pose... I will have
to research it..

Thanks...

Kay

You can't do that legally. GMRS radios have specific qualifications that
do not include programable channels. At those power levels a FCC license
is required also.

Good afternoon,

I am looking for a 12V base station, 10 or more programable channels, PL
encode/decode 5 Watt output that can be operated on the GMRS frequencies
(462 Mhz Area).

Anyone have any idea where I might get one of these, or are some of the
amateur UHF radios convertible to use at these frequencies.

Thanks,

Kay, N7KH
