Land-mobile FM UHF radio service for short-distance two-way communications
TIDRADIO TD-H5 GMRS radios.
The General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) is a land-mobile FM UHF radio service designed for short-range two-way voice communication and authorized under part 95 of the US FCC code. It requires a license in the United States, but some GMRS compatible equipment can be used license-free in Canada. The US GMRS license is issued for a period of 10 years by the FCC. The United States permits use by adult individuals who possess a valid GMRS license, as well as their immediate family members.[a] Immediate relatives of the GMRS system licensee are entitled to communicate among themselves for personal or business[1] purposes, but employees of the licensee who are not family members are not covered by the license. Non-family members must be licensed separately.
GMRS radios are typically handheld portable (walkie-talkies) much like Family Radio Service (FRS) radios, and they share a frequency band with FRS near 462 and 467 MHz. Mobile and base station-style radios are available as well, but these are normally commercial UHF radios as often used in the public service and commercial land mobile bands. These are legal for use in this service as long as they are certified for GMRS under USC 47 Part 95.
(or older radios that are certified under USC 47 Part 90 as they are "grandfathered in" and are able to be programmed with GMRS frequencies and used legally for GMRS as well)

GMRS licensees are allowed to establish repeaters to extend their communications range. GMRS repeaters are not authorized to connect to the public switched telephone network. Only Remote control can be used by the station owner.
