§95.335 Operation of non-certified transmitters prohibited.

GMRS and FRS regulations have changed, but unlicensed FRS does not permit any
radio that has a removable antenna. Also radios have to be certified under FCC
Part 95. UV-5R isn't on the list, and FCC is planning on banning the import of
any radio capable of being used on a frequency that the unit is not licensed
for. That is if it isn't an amateur radio, in the future any radio imported
will only be able to be used on amateur radio frequencies.
Also in the near future, radios will not be legally allowed to be manufactured,
imported , or sold that can be used on BOTH GMRS and FRS. This is going to
cause a problem for licensed amateur radio operators who own such radios, like
I do:
§95.1791 Sales of GMRS/FRS combination radios prohibited.
(a) Effective September 30, 2019, no person shall be permitted to manufacture
or import, sell or offer for sale any radio equipment capable of operating
under both this subpart (GMRS) and subpart B (FRS) of this chapter.
FRS allows 2 watts or less on channels 1 – 7 and the previously GMRS only
channels of 15 – 22, but only 0.5 watts on channels 8 – 14.GMRS licensees can
use up to 50 watts, but there are somewhat complicated restrictions and an FCC
10 year renewable license (good for entire family) is needed. GMRS licensees
can also operate on 8 additional repeater frequencies.
The regulations for GMRS are quite complicated.

I think the past practice of this group not to provide such information to
unlicensed persons is a wise one.

Let's not play police here.I do believe that the FCC has allowed some of the
FRS frequencies, now up to 2 watts.To answer the question, make sure the same
frequencies are in the column next to the receive column.I don't recall if they
are labeled RX and TX or what.Glenn

Subject: Re: [chirp_users] Transmit UV5r to FRS
Using your UV-5R on FRS frequencies will be a violation of Federal Law. That
radio is not, nor can not be, type accepted for that service.

I can hear the FRS radios on their respective channels, I cannot transmit on
those respective channels. How can I enable the transmit on chirp?
Thanks, in advance.
