Because they share the same frequencies, GMRS radios are allowed to communicate with FRS radios via simplex. Both the increased output power and the repeater access granted by a GMRS license can dramatically increase the effective range a GMRS radio has over a FRS radio. A GMRS license also grants permission to operate on the repeater input frequencies. A license is required to operate on the GMRS band, and the licensee is allowed up to 5 or 50 watts of output power (also depending on the channel). With the Family Radio Service (FRS), however output power is limited to 0.5 or 2 watts on FRS, depending on the channel. General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) is a land-mobile UHF radio service in the United States, near 462 and 467 MHz.
