Upon such a reallocation, these paired channels could be established for both
simplex and repeater operations. Below is a revised chart with channel pairs 16 – 25,
rearranged and renumbered as 01 – 10, illustrating such a reallocation to the GMRS.
Proposed New 47 § 95.1763(e) & (f) – 46.610 – 49.990 MHz 100-Watt GMRS Allocation
Channel Mobile Frequency (MHz)* Base or Mobile Frequency (MHz)
01 46.670 49.830
02 46.710 49.845
03 46.730 49.860
04 46.770 49.875
05 46.830 49.890
06 46.610 49.670
07 46.630 49.770
08 46.870 49.930
09 46.930 49.970
10 46.970 49.990
*These frequencies are for use only as repeater input frequencies
This proposed 46.670 – 46.970 MHz & 49.830 – 49.990 MHz reallocation of former
cordless telephone frequencies would be assigned to the GMRS as licensed, up to 100-watt,
duplex repeater channels. As with the GMRS, the output repeater frequencies would also
be available for simplex operations.
