Click the button marked [+10] twice, then the button marked [-1] three times and you’ll see the target locations [TO] column now starts at 17, not 1. You said you have the first 16 channels filled, so 17 is your next vacant spot. You can skip numbers, if you want FRS1 to be in 21 and so on, just use the [+10] twice to change the position.

You may not profit on what you overhear. You may not divulge the content of a transmission you overhear that was not intended for public dissemination.

That said, I have the marine channels 06 and 16, FRS, GMRS, MURS, my local school district, my Fire Department and the Weather Service all stuck in mine.
