Re: UHF and FRS/GMRS Compatibility

Hey Guys,

After reading the following thread (UHF RAdio Users - Compatibility Information), I still don't completely understand the radio compatibility criteria.

I have an opportunity to get a used Yaesu 60R and I was wondering if it works on the FRS/GMRS frequencies. I understand that FRS/GMRS operates around 460-470 MHz, but is this transmitting or recieving? The 60R seems to be able to receive on that frequency, but does not transmit. Will this be a problem? Or have I misunderstood something?

Thanks.

Frequency Coverage:
Receive:

108-137 MHz (Air Band)
137-520 MHz (AM / FM)
(Cellular phone Blocked)
700-999 MHz (FM)
(Cellular phone Blocked)
Transmit:
144-148 MHz
430-450 MHz
Transmit Output Power:
High 5 W (@ 7.2 V FNB-83)
Mid 2 W (@ 7.2 V FNB-83)
Low 0.5 W (@ 7.2 V FNB-83)
Modes of Operation:
F2 (data packet 1200 baud), FM
