Under the new 2017 rules, FRS is no longer limited to .5 watts and the
number of channels has been expanede. The old FRS/GMRS bubble pack
radios that put out 2 watts or less ERP are now FRS only and do not
require a license to use any available channel. The old FRS/GMRS
bubble pack radios that put out more than 2 watts are now GMRS only
and do require a license (even the 7 channels that used to be FRS
only).
