GMRS — The Family Band That Actually Works

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).

00:00:00
It is the prep comms podcast.

00:00:02
Wow.

00:00:03
Welcome in.

00:00:03
I'm Caleb K4 CD and third cup of

00:00:05
coffee.

00:00:06
It's hot.

00:00:07
Whoa, and My GMRS call sign is WRBR

00:00:11
237.

00:00:12
Thank you for coming by.

00:00:13
I was not prepared for that sip of

00:00:15
coffee as I pressed record And I am

00:00:18
not changing it because what you see is

00:00:19
what you get you guys.

00:00:20
I appreciate you being here Honestly, and I'll

00:00:23
lay off the coffee until we finish the

00:00:25
program here We are going to start talking

00:00:27
about GMRS the general mobile radio service here

00:00:31
on the prep comms podcast We've talked how

00:00:34
to listen to stuff.

00:00:35
We've talked CB radio M.

00:00:37
You are s radio We talked FRS radio

00:00:41
most recently and now we're gonna talk about

00:00:44
the big brother to FRS radio and the

00:00:47
first cousin to CB radio Yeah, that's a

00:00:52
great way to say it.

00:00:52
So FRS radio is a little bubble pack

00:00:55
radios.

00:00:56
You buy cheap at Walmart You put about

00:00:57
$14 worth of batteries in them and as

00:00:59
long as your kids forget don't forget to

00:01:01
turn them off They're fine.

00:01:03
They work in the neighborhood.

00:01:04
They work around the house.

00:01:05
They work in the backyard Your kids have

00:01:07
a lot of fun until the batteries die

00:01:09
and then you put them in a drawer

00:01:10
and you forget about them They are a

00:01:12
great first step in the communications for preppers

00:01:16
for families who won't stay connected when stuff

00:01:19
happens If you want a little more actually

00:01:22
a lot more capabilities, then you need to

00:01:25
step up to their big brother the GMRS

00:01:29
General mobile radio service now the crazy thing

00:01:32
is they actually use the same frequencies as

00:01:34
FRS radios But the FCC has given this

00:01:38
user More power and you know with more

00:01:41
power comes more responsibility.

00:01:44
Yep Who was a peters uncle that said

00:01:47
that can't remember his name because I'm not

00:01:48
a huge spider-man fan But I tell

00:01:50
my kids that all the time GMRS is

00:01:53
a licensed two-way radio service for individuals

00:01:56
and families and whoa Did you just say

00:01:59
licensed?

00:01:59
I did What does that mean it means

00:02:02
you're going into a government database to utilize

00:02:05
these radio frequencies legally Oh my gosh.

00:02:08
I don't want to be a ham You're

00:02:10
not This is not ham radio, but you

00:02:13
will have to have a license that we'll

00:02:15
talk about here in just a moment You

00:02:17
see the FCC in the United States controls

00:02:20
the radio spectrum and a lot of people

00:02:23
don't like that and I can't say I'm

00:02:25
the biggest fan but at the same time

00:02:27
I appreciate some semblance of control or Making

00:02:34
sure it's not a free for all because

00:02:36
I mean Could you imagine if we had

00:02:39
complete access to the entire radio spectrum And

00:02:42
I was just broadcasting down here in 800

00:02:44
megahertz band and you know the local sheriff's

00:02:48
department's trying to use that as well And

00:02:50
because I'm just down here blasting skillet You

00:02:52
know on whomever's listening on 800 megahertz And

00:02:57
my neighbor's being robbed and held at gunpoint,

00:03:00
but the sheriff's officers can't talk to each

00:03:02
other because you know They don't know that

00:03:05
it's the best kept secret in our generation

00:03:07
Is one of the best songs ever by

00:03:09
skillet so I am I'm honestly quite thankful

00:03:12
that we have some level of Accountability when

00:03:17
it comes to the spectrum.

00:03:18
I know a lot of a lot of

00:03:19
people maybe even listen to this program.

00:03:20
Don't it's okay We don't have to agree

00:03:21
on everything but way back in the day

00:03:24
like before me Well right about the time

00:03:27
I showed up the FCC created a class

00:03:30
of radio called class a class alpha cb

00:03:33
class a citizens band They've changed it up

00:03:37
as time has progressed and now this class

00:03:40
a cb It lives under part 95 sub

00:03:44
-party and if you're really bored or if

00:03:46
you can't go to sleep at night Look

00:03:47
it up.

00:03:47
I'll put it in the show notes part

00:03:48
95 sub-party It'll make sense of everything.

00:03:51
I'm going to try to convey to you

00:03:52
today FRS and GMRS radios the FRS we

00:03:55
talked about the last time through we had

00:03:57
a little mini series there we're going into

00:03:59
this GMRS series and they share the same

00:04:02
22 channels but GMRS allows you more power

00:04:06
you can swap your antennas you can even

00:04:09
use repeaters and you get 50 watts I

00:04:12
said more power but I mean you get

00:04:14
50 watts compared to what two or less

00:04:17
So we talked about the FRS kind of

00:04:19
giving you a bubble of communications You can

00:04:21
talk around the backyard you can talk maybe

00:04:23
around your little neighborhood If you guys go

00:04:25
to a small amusement park you and your

00:04:27
kids can chat at that point GMRS is

00:04:31
not the little bubble anymore now we're talking

00:04:34
county-wide communications If the infrastructure is there

00:04:37
which we're going to talk about as this

00:04:39
series goes through but you go from just

00:04:42
backyard talk to neighborhood talk to from your

00:04:45
house to the grocery store from your house

00:04:47
to the fire department from your house to

00:04:50
across the county to me mom's house whomever

00:04:53
you're trying to talk to and of course

00:04:56
we have to get back to licensing and

00:04:58
regulation and responsibility for the end user and

00:05:01
that leads us to the FCC again Now

00:05:04
they did open these frequencies up back in

00:05:06
the day and they're like we're going to

00:05:09
allow people to use them and we're going

00:05:11
to charge them They're not going to have

00:05:13
to take a test but they are going

00:05:15
to have to go on our database and

00:05:16
they're going to give us money so when

00:05:19
I got my WRBR 237 the GMRS fee

00:05:23
was 70 bucks for 10 years yeah now

00:05:28
it's 35 for 10 years that's not a

00:05:31
bad deal when does the government ever cut

00:05:33
their prices in half not very often unless

00:05:36
they're sending you checks they'll send you any

00:05:38
I'm not going there so you getting the

00:05:41
license is really easy but you got to

00:05:43
hear me there's so many people especially in

00:05:45
preparedness that don't want to get their amateur

00:05:47
radio license and I know that this isn't

00:05:49
really the reason but this is the excuse

00:05:52
a lot of people use I don't want

00:05:54
to be in a government database okay get

00:05:56
you I get it I don't have to

00:05:59
take a test okay that's fine but if

00:06:02
you're going to get your GMRS license you're

00:06:05
going into a government database actually you're going

00:06:07
into the same government database that I'm in

00:06:09
as an amateur radio operator the same one

00:06:12
that I'm in as a business itinerant radio

00:06:14
operator and the same one I'm in as

00:06:16
a fellow GMRS radio operator yeah you are

00:06:20
it's the same database people can look you

00:06:22
up if they want to look you up

00:06:24
and whatever address you use they see your

00:06:26
address you can see my post office box

00:06:29
370 Pauline South Carolina 29374 a lot of

00:06:33
people get hung up on this at least

00:06:34
they have in the past and it kind

00:06:36
of seems they still do but you got

00:06:40
to understand something guys not very many people

00:06:42
are going to go to the FCC.gov

00:06:44
and try to find where people live because

00:06:46
you can just type your name and address

00:06:49
into a Google search bar and you're going

00:06:51
to find sites like whitepages.com and they're

00:06:54
going to have your name your spouse's name

00:06:56
your previous address where you work your telephone

00:06:59
number your email address they're going to have

00:07:01
all that in there anyway so don't be

00:07:02
fearful of the GMRS license don't be fearful

00:07:06
of the business itinerant don't be fearful of

00:07:08
the GMRS the ham guys you're on the

00:07:12
internet you have smartphones they know everything you're

00:07:14
doing they whomever you want to call they

00:07:17
they do okay you're in the database if

00:07:19
you're listening to the show you're in a

00:07:20
database you're watching on youtube you're in a

00:07:22
database if you're reading survival blog or if

00:07:25
you're you know subscribe to a forward observer

00:07:28
or if you're following grid base on instagram

00:07:33
you're in a database okay okay okay everybody

00:07:36
calm down it's not a big deal since

00:07:45
it gets you legal on GMRS now a

00:07:48
lot of people are like i don't care

00:07:50
i'm still not going to get a license

00:07:52
i'm not going to use it and you're

00:07:55
going to get these radios and you're going

00:07:57
to try to get on one of the

00:07:58
local repeaters and without a call sign they're

00:08:00
going to really frown on you they're going

00:08:02
to frown on you because they've done the

00:08:04
work they're supplying the infrastructure for you and

00:08:07
your family to talk on all their asking

00:08:09
is for you to be licensed legally and

00:08:11
to use it with respect so it's definitely

00:08:13
something to think about we're going to talk

00:08:15
repeaters in another show but i just want

00:08:17
to get that out there in this licensing

00:08:18
and responsibility segment here it's a thirty five

00:08:22
dollar fee your license lasts ten years again

00:08:25
that's half what i paid and it covers

00:08:28
your entire household now this is this is

00:08:31
so cool because it's a little gray but

00:08:35
really it's not that gray sub part 95

00:08:38
sub-party when you read it i mean

00:08:40
it's talking spouses kids parents in laws uncles

00:08:44
well if it covers your uncle does it

00:08:46
cover your nephew does it if it covers

00:08:48
your uncle does it cover your cousin i

00:08:51
mean it kind of sounds that way so

00:08:54
you could you yourself could get this license

00:08:58
and your whole family could operate under the

00:09:00
license right that you bought for thirty five

00:09:03
bucks for ten years now you have to

00:09:05
and they have to and everyone who uses

00:09:08
it have to follow the rules because you

00:09:12
the guy who signed up and put your

00:09:14
name and address on the fcc application and

00:09:16
was approved for thirty five dollars you're responsible

00:09:19
for proper operations at all times so you

00:09:22
can tell your nephew freddy hey man i

00:09:25
got these radios they work great around town

00:09:26
and freddy's like oh man yeah i'm your

00:09:29
nephew i can use them he's like yeah

00:09:30
bro i mean hey use the radios and

00:09:32
freddy's like a crack dealer and freddy's out

00:09:34
using gmrs radios to coordinate his crack deals

00:09:37
and he gets busted well i mean this

00:09:41
probably wouldn't happen but if it did the

00:09:43
possibility stands you get in in trouble because

00:09:46
you the license holder are responsible for proper

00:09:49
operations at all time so you know you

00:09:52
may not want to get freddy or radio

00:09:54
you might not even want to uh have

00:09:56
your kids around freddy until he finds righteousness

00:09:58
but uh yeah anyway if you have a

00:10:01
license you are responsible for anyone who's utilizing

00:10:04
it under your call sign for their proper

00:10:06
operations at all time now your family members

00:10:09
can operate and anybody who who stumbles by

00:10:13
your station in an emergency can use it

00:10:15
as well okay so you know that's the

00:10:17
that's the we hear a lot of that

00:10:18
and i don't want to go down the

00:10:19
road too deep here but in an emergency

00:10:21
i'll use anything i want to call anybody

00:10:23
i want you can you can in a

00:10:26
life or limb situation if it's a real

00:10:28
emergency man if you have to call the

00:10:30
djt and tell him to bring marine one

00:10:33
to pick you up you do it i

00:10:35
mean it's an emergency right life or limb

00:10:37
is a real emergency you're you're out walking

00:10:41
down the side of the road in in

00:10:43
the desert of arizona and some guy comes

00:10:45
by on a horse and accidentally knocks you

00:10:47
over and knocks you out and uh he's

00:10:49
no kin to you you don't know who

00:10:50
he is it's total stranger but he sees

00:10:52
you have a walkie talkie he can pick

00:10:54
it up and call for help uh because

00:10:56
he realizes this is an emergency there's no

00:10:59
cell service and he can use it although

00:11:02
he's not under your license that was a

00:11:04
terrible analogy all right so back during hurricane

00:11:06
helene we were out power for a whole

00:11:09
week here at the farm except the generator

00:11:11
we were hand pumping water um cell phone

00:11:14
service sucked although it worked it still really

00:11:17
sucked there's no data to be used at

00:11:18
all and um if the generator wasn't running

00:11:21
we had no star link at that time

00:11:23
because they didn't have the batteries in place

00:11:25
um anyway we had gmrs radios we had

00:11:28
merge radios we used gmrs where their neighbors

00:11:30
across the street both ladies and uh it

00:11:34
worked great it worked great it was simplex

00:11:36
you didn't use repeaters because we really can't

00:11:38
get those from here we're too far away

00:11:39
but um point to point the bubble gets

00:11:43
bigger the better radios the better antennas all

00:11:45
right gmrs is a great tool and we're

00:11:49
going to keep talking about it here in

00:11:50
just a second i want to tell you

00:11:51
how to get your license for gmrs now

00:11:53
when you're listening to this program we may

00:11:56
still be at the time of the recording

00:11:57
we are in a government shutdown right now

00:11:59
and so the sec they're all on vacation

00:12:03
not getting paid and they're not processing applications

00:12:06
at this time they're not processing business itinerant

00:12:09
they're not processing uh ham radio license and

00:12:13
none of that said nothing's happening in the

00:12:15
FCC offices right now i would imagine that

00:12:17
the smoke detectors are still beeping and no

00:12:19
one still changed the batteries it's kind of

00:12:21
like that uh but you can still apply

00:12:24
and when the system comes back online you're

00:12:26
in the queue all right so family connect

00:12:29
system dot com is a website that i

00:12:33
have and it is a framework it's a

00:12:36
system that you can use to build a

00:12:38
entire family communication system to keep you and

00:12:42
your your peeps connected when phones stop working

00:12:45
and one of the parts of that is

00:12:54
ai to help you get your gmrs license

00:12:58

00:13:03
it was built in the 90s and it

00:13:05
probably was it's not a lot of fun

00:13:07
to get through especially if you've never been

00:13:09

00:13:50
will be in the show notes too by

00:13:51
the way oh man you hear me say

00:13:53
and it's kind of a misnomer and it

00:13:56
really really lends more towards the the actual

00:13:59
usage and what i hear on gmrs but

00:14:02
i'll say from time to time that gmrs

00:14:05
is the new cb radio sometimes i'll say

00:14:08
it's cb radio with batteries well that's because

00:14:11
back in the day i had a portable

00:14:14
cb a handheld cb my brother had one

00:14:16
but um they weren't as popular as the

00:14:19
ones that we had in our cars because

00:14:21
back then everybody drove all the time and

00:14:22
you know we liked our freedom in america

00:14:24
to just get on the highway uh now

00:14:26
we just sit at home look at instagram

00:14:28
anyway gmrs is not cb radio although it

00:14:32
was initially cb radio what you and i

00:14:35
think about when we think cb radio you

00:14:37
know smoking the band at dukes of hazard

00:14:38
um bj and the bear stuff like that

00:14:41
we're thinking truckers and chatting on the highway

00:14:44
and whatnot those radios talk on the 27

00:14:47
megahertz band all right the gmrs frs runs

00:14:51
in the 462 467 megahertz band the signal

00:14:55
is a lot cleaner with gmrs it won't

00:14:58
go as far but it will sound like

00:15:01
it'll go further we'll talk about it as

00:15:03
we go right uh another myth that you'll

00:15:06
find in regards to these radios especially when

00:15:09
they were first introduced and it's not as

00:15:11
prevalent as it was but you're still going

00:15:13
to see it and it's called marketing and

00:15:16
marketing marketing does not equal physics okay uh

00:15:19
some of these things say 36 mile radios

00:15:21
some say 50 mile maximum range and yeah

00:15:25
if you're out in you know the high

00:15:27
plains and you're standing on a butte somewhere

00:15:28
and you got a buddy on a butte

00:15:30
over there you know 30 40 miles away

00:15:31
it's nothing in between you except oxygen more

00:15:35
than likely you can talk to each other

00:15:37
but if you're in southwest Missouri and you're

00:15:42
living life like the average american and there's

00:15:45
houses and there's trees and there's buildings and

00:15:47
there's there's rise you know there's valleys stuff

00:15:52
in the way between you and your buddy

00:15:54
you're not going to get 50 miles you

00:15:56
can overcome physics so the great thing to

00:15:59
kind of counter that with gmrs is that

00:16:03
you are allowed up to 50 watts on

00:16:06
some of the frequencies you are allowed to

00:16:09
use repeaters on some of the frequencies so

00:16:12
uh you just bear that in mind frs

00:16:15
was like what max two watts you couldn't

00:16:17
change the antenna you couldn't add an external

00:16:20
antenna you couldn't have an elevated antenna gmrs

00:16:23
allows you up to 50 watts you can

00:16:25
do external antennas you can do our whips

00:16:27
that we sell in the store you can

00:16:29
do the roll up j pole type antennas

00:16:31
you can do a base station antenna on

00:16:33
a tower and you can do a repeater

00:16:36
i mean it's so much more capable and

00:16:40
for 35 bucks for 10 years it's probably

00:16:44
the best deal going in regards to not

00:16:48
having to take a test all right another

00:16:50
thing to think about is you see on

00:16:52
the box is you know uh 47 privacy

00:16:54
tones and all this then adding what those

00:16:57
what those privacy tones actually do let me

00:16:59
just try to make it as simple as

00:17:00
i can here because i know we have

00:17:01
a broad audience um you program your radio

00:17:04
you choose a setting in the little radio

00:17:06
you bought from target and both both radios

00:17:10
you get a other box you program them

00:17:12
the same way so you choose privacy tone

00:17:14
13 and you guys can talk back and

00:17:17
forth to the two here anyone else man

00:17:21
you're just like this is so great i

00:17:23
don't hear anybody this is private communications i'm

00:17:27
gonna tell my wife how hot no you

00:17:29
you don't understand just because you can't hear

00:17:32
anyone else doesn't mean everyone else can't hear

00:17:35
you the privacy tone only in essence blocks

00:17:39
what's your what your radio is receiving it's

00:17:42
only allowing signals transmitted to it that have

00:17:46
the same privacy tone enabled on their transmit

00:17:48
so you have a receive tone enacted and

00:17:52
they have a transmit tone enacted and vice

00:17:54
versa and when they transmit it sends a

00:17:57
subaudible tone that tells your radio hey it's

00:17:59
time to listen and your radio can hear

00:18:01
what's transmitted uh and so can everyone else

00:18:04
because there's no privacy on a public radio

00:18:07
and that's what gmrs it's wide open public

00:18:10
everybody can hear everything you're saying okay just

00:18:14
because you can't hear them doesn't mean they

00:18:17
can't hear you all right you can encrypt

00:18:19
you can't encrypt you cannot use encryption on

00:18:24
gmrs you can't play music okay you can't

00:18:27
run commercials you can't run commercials for politics

00:18:31
i mean it's just it's public radio that

00:18:35
anyone can hear okay got to know that

00:18:38
um you have to identify your call sign

00:18:42
so when you get your license through the

00:18:45
FCC once they go back to work you

00:18:48
will be issued a license mine again is

00:18:50
WRBR237 so if you're using your radios and

00:18:56
having a conversation you have to use your

00:18:58
call sign WRBR237 every 15 minutes and when

00:19:04
you hang up or at the end of

00:19:06
the conversation okay so i would come on

00:19:10
and say this is WRBR237 anyone listening and

00:19:14
Andy may come on and say hey this

00:19:17
is WRBR454 what's happening and i'm like hey

00:19:20
dude how's it going it's great we're talking

00:19:22
along 15 minutes shows up hey this is

00:19:25
WRBR237 oh reminder this is WRBR454 we covered

00:19:32
it we're legal all right dude this great

00:19:34
chatting with you you know we're 20 minutes

00:19:36
in the convo and i'm like we're saying

00:19:37
goodbye and it's like we'll talk to you

00:19:38
later man WRBR237 and you let go and

00:19:42
that's the end of the conversation he identifies

00:19:44
at the end of his last transmission and

00:19:47
everybody's legal you have to identify your call

00:19:50
sign every 15 minutes so back in the

00:19:53
day CB radio the trucker radios they had

00:19:56
a license they had to follow and then

00:19:58
the FCC's like nobody's doing this this is

00:20:02
just extra paperwork for us so they scrapped

00:20:04
that and people started using what they call

00:20:07
a handle a CB radio handle like smokey

00:20:10
you know anyway there's some great handles out

00:20:13
there we don't go in there we've already

00:20:15
talked CB but now with GMRS you don't

00:20:18
really have a handle you have your call

00:20:21
sign so some people may be like 237

00:20:23
instead of the WRBR but you need to

00:20:28
at least lead in close with that okay

00:20:30
it's not really gray the rules are pretty

00:20:33
specific i'm just telling you what i've heard

00:20:35
locally i don't talk a lot on GMRS

00:20:38
because it is limited in my area except

00:20:41
you know like on my farm but to

00:20:43
other people and it's just not it's a

00:20:47
great service for people who aren't hand radios

00:20:50
operators you have to use plain language now

00:20:53
you can say 10-4 or i'm 10

00:20:56
-60 of the area or 10-9 can

00:20:59
you repeat or man my new radios 10

00:21:01
-8 is in service you can use those

00:21:04
but you can't you can't misconstrue what you're

00:21:09
saying you you can't encrypt you can't hide

00:21:13
stuff legally on GMRS okay i gotta have

00:21:18
to have to say it encourage you to

00:21:20
use only FCC certified equipment back in the

00:21:23
day when the GMRS and FRS came out

00:21:25
they would make a radio that was FRS

00:21:29
and GMRS and since 2019 they're like now

00:21:33
we're done with that we're not going to

00:21:35
let you make those anymore because what was

00:21:37
happening is people were using the GMRS output

00:21:39
power on the FRS frequencies which you know

00:21:43
just broke the law so they are the

00:21:45
rules and they've just decided if you want

00:21:47
FRS you can get those ultra low power

00:21:49
radios for you and your backyard if you

00:21:52
want to pay the 35 bucks and go

00:21:53
legal with higher power bigger antennas and whatever

00:21:56
GMRS okay you can find these on Amazon

00:22:01
i've got them in my store the beat

00:22:03
beat tech makes a really good one it's

00:22:06
based on the UV-82 chassis which is

00:22:08
one of my favorite handheld radios works really

00:22:12
good and it's just a bare bones GMRS

00:22:15
radio it's rugged a little rugged it's not

00:22:17
waterproof or anything although you can find those

00:22:20
we've got them in the store in the

00:22:22
show note links i'm sure but you know

00:22:26
a lot of people don't need that a

00:22:27
lot of people don't plan on you know

00:22:28
traips into the woods and lying down in

00:22:30
the mud and being out in the rain

00:22:32
they're just looking for something to get for

00:22:33
their kids so there's again like FRS there's

00:22:36
something for everyone GMRS there's something for everyone

00:22:39
it's it's not called family radio but man

00:22:44
it sure works great for families it's not

00:22:46
called prepper radio but it really works great

00:22:49
for preppers and i've found a lot of

00:22:52
preppers are family folks and they're just they're

00:22:54
doing what they're doing on behalf of their

00:22:56
family GMRS is very simple it's easy to

00:23:01
be legal and i'm telling you the wattage

00:23:04
output with the external antennas the ability to

00:23:08
elevate antennas to have a 50 watt mobile

00:23:11
radio in your car with a good antenna

00:23:15
wow man i'll tell you it changes everything

00:23:18
so again i've got a link in the

00:23:23

00:23:24
license and we're going to talk about that
