The GMRS8000-2 has 22 channels (frequencies) indicated by the large digits on the LCD display panel. Channels 1 through 7 are the shared GMRS/FRS channels. Channels 8-14 are FRS only channels, while channels 15-22 are as- signed GMRS only channels. If an FRS only channel (8-14) has been selected, the HI or LO indicator will not be displayed on the LCD panel; otherwise, for channels 1-7 (GMRS/FRS) and 15-22 (GMRS only), the HI or LO indicator will be displayed. Communication with Audiovox FRS and compatible units is possible on the shared and FRS only channels.
