Current Frequency List
Do I need a license?
Like anything federal, this is a complicated question to answer. A license may or may not be required depending on the frequency range you are operating in. Below are general guidelines and are not meant to be an interpretation for the FCC rules.
MURS Band – 5 Channels – Receive only
FRS Band – 22 Channels – Receive only
NOAA Band – Receive only
FM Radio – Receive only
VHF – License Required to transmit
UHF – License Required to transmit
All VHF/UHF Frequencies require an FCC amateur radio operator license to transmit on. We are not a license coordinator. We recommend using Forest Industries Telecommunications. A VHF Mobile user with a Nationwide License is approximately $345. More details can be found on FIT’s Homepage
Did you hear that these are illegal?
You can politely inform whoever told you that misinformation that the amateur radio service is regulated by FCC Part 97 rules and do not require a part 90 certified radio to operate on those bands. You can use your Baofeng UV5R and UV5RA radios on the 144-148 Mhz 2 meter band and 430-450 MHz 70cm bands without fear of being in violation. If you buy the Amazon / Ebay UV-5R V2+ you will notice a slight problem: notably the radio will not transmit below 145 Mhz. That means you won’t be able to use the radio on any frequencies between 144-145 Mhz. That would include the 144.39 Mhz APRS channel and any 2 meter repeater that has an input frequency lower than 145 Mhz.
The Multi Use Radio Service, Family Radio Service and the General Mobile Radio Service are all regulated by FCC part 95 rules. A part 90 certified radio can be used on GMRS but only a part 95 certified radio can be used on FRS or MURS.
