GMRS radios, by the numbers on file with the FCC
A small, sourced database of FCC-certified GMRS radios. We take power and frequency data straight from each radio's FCC grant and put it next to what the maker claims. Rule pages quote 47 CFR Part 95 with section numbers. If we can't source a value, we leave it blank and mark it not yet verified.
Radio comparison
5 certified radios: FCC ID, grant date, filed power per band, plus maker specs with a source link on every cell.

Methodology & disclosure
Where every number comes from, what "ERP" vs "output" means, and what we haven't tested (everything, so far).
Why another GMRS site?
- Sources on every number. Each table cell links to the FCC grant or the maker's own page or manual.
- Maker claims vs FCC filing. We show where "5 W" on the box lines up with the filed ERP figure, and where it doesn't.
- No guessed specs, no invented range tests. Blank means blank.
