What frequency does my Motorola Talkabout radios operate at. Is there other brands that use those frequency?

Q. I have the 22 channel FRS/GMRS hybrid.

A. CH01 462.5625 *
CH02 462.5875 *
CH03 462.6125 *
CH04 462.6375 *
CH05 462.6625 *
CH06 462.6875 *
CH07 462.7125 *
CH08 467.5625
CH09 467.5875
CH10 467.6125
CH11 467.6373
CH12 467.6625
CH13 467.8874
CH14 467.7125

15 through 22 use the following frequencies, though channel designators do not follow in order, depending on the model of radio used:

462.5500
462.5750
462.6000
462.6250
462.6500
462.6750
462.7000
462.7250

Please bear in mind, use of any channel *except* channels 7-14 require an FCC GMRS license.

What is the difference between FRS & GMRS with the motorola two-way radios?
Q. I am going on a cruise in the caribean and would like to get some simple hand held radios to keep in touch with family & friends. While shopping for radios I noticed that some are FRS and some are GMRS. Does anyone know the difference and benefits of each?

A. FRS & GMRS are on different frequencies (i.e., channels), and different rules apply. FRS is limited to half a watt of power and has other restrictions, like non-detachable antennas. Some GMRS channels can be used with up to 50 watts, while others are limited to five watts, although most handheld radios don't put out more than a watt or two.

If you are going on a cruise in the Caribbean, you may be under the jurisdiction of several countries, as well as the captain of the ship, so you might need permission and/or licenses from those jurisdictions. In the United States, a GMRS license is $85 for five years and can be easily obtained online through the FCC's Universal Licensing System (ULS) at http://wireless.fcc.gov by first obtaining a FRN, then using the FRN to obtain the license.

As was mentioned, don't believe the advertised range of the handheld radios, especially if they will be used in a metal structure like a ship.

How many brands of motorola two way radios are there?
Q. I'm looking to buy an earpiece for a motorola radio. I volunteer for a local organisation where we provide cover at local events. We communicate through two way radios but the brand of motorola seems to depend on whatever the event organisers give us. I found an earpiece online that is compatible for a number of motorola radios but how many brands are there?

A. Motorola is the brand. There are various different models of Motorola two way radios. I would go to the Motorola website to see how many models are currently available from Motorola.
