All channels except those noted in the notes column, are permitted 50 watts output. Channels 7-14 are FRS regulations only, so .5 watt output is maximum on these channels.

Repeater Use

Split means that this frequency is available for repeater use. The input would be 5 mhz higher than the frequencies listed here, which is repeater output. Most GMRS handies are not capable of repeater operation, but are simplex only, meaning they transmit and receive on the same frequency.  The UHF mobiles by Icom, Motorola and others, are capable of split operation, as they are primarily made for professional use, i.e. business and first-responders.  So if you find a need for repeater operation with your 2-way radio, you more than likely will have to dig deep into your pocket.

GMRS repeaters are not really very plentiful in the US, although there are some in the bigger metropolitan areas and where hobbyists have erected them.
