FRS channels for CHIRP
All 22 FRS channels are in the table below with their frequencies, narrow FM and the allowed power. Download the CSV for CHIRP, or print the channel list.
The channels
1–7: 462.5625–462.7125 MHz, 2 W. 8–14: 467.5625–467.7125 MHz, 0.5 W. 15–22: 462.550–462.725 MHz, 2 W. All narrow FM (12.5 kHz). These are the same frequencies as GMRS channels 1–22.
Receive only by default
FRS needs no licence, but only on an FCC-certified FRS radio. Programming a dual-band handheld for FRS lets it listen; to transmit, untick receive-only in “Add ready-made channels” — at your own responsibility.
Before you load it into a radio
The file is for CHIRP, the free programming software — not for the radio itself. CHIRP is what writes the channels to the radio, and CHIRP and the radio decide what they accept; we cannot check that without your radio. Before uploading, download the radio’s current memories in CHIRP and save them as a backup, then look through the channels. Transmitting on some frequencies needs a licence or an approved radio — check the rules where you are. You use the file and program your radio at your own risk.
