Channel Selection
In order to communicate with other GMRS units, both transmitting and
receiving party must be on the same frequency. The GMRS8000-2 has 22
channels (frequencies) indicated by the large digits on the LCD display
panel. Channels 1 through 7 are the shared GMRS/FRS channels.
Channels 8-14 are FRS only channels, while channels 15-22 are as-
signed GMRS only channels. If an FRS only channel (8-14) has been
selected, the HI or LO indicator will not be displayed on the LCD panel;
otherwise, for channels 1-7 (GMRS/FRS) and 15-22 (GMRS only), the
HI or LO indicator will be displayed. Communication with Audiovox FRS
and compatible units is possible on the shared and FRS only channels.
