output power.
▪ Group 02: Standard GMRS channels 8-14 are limited to a half watt of output
power and are for use on Low power only. Prior to FCC changes made in 2017,
these channels were part of the FRS service only and were not available for GMRS.
▪ Group 03: Standard GMRS channels 15-22. ese channels are authorized for up
to 50 watts of output power. Prior to FCC changes made in 2017, this group was
exclusive to GMRS (not part of FRS).
▪ Group 04: is is the repeater group. ese channels correspond to the channels in
group 03, but transmit on a special oset frequency set aside for repeaters. See page
19 for more information about using the KG-905G with repeaters.
Transmitting and Receiving
With a channel selected, the radio is actively “listening” for an incoming signal on that
channel. When a signal is detected, the transmission will be heard through the radio’s
speaker. Please note, the Squelch setting (page 26) determines how strong a signal
needs to be in order to be detected.
