Even though FRS and GMRS share the same freq segment, they are treated
differently. I don't think one can have a base station on FRS even if
using low power. FRS rules would not apply to GMRS and vise/versa. If
it says FRS only the reg would not apply to GMRS just as you said.
I guess for simplex repeater I would feel safe if it stated they were
allowed for GMRS. The FCC regs gives specific rules for the type of
stations (repeater, base, HT, etc). Don't think they say anything about
simplex repeater type station.

In this case it does say that you can't run a simplex or
store and forward repeater on the FRS channels. If they
didn't want it on GMRS wouldn't they just add "or GMRS" at
the end of that line?
Almost seems like they want to make sure you don't do it
on the FRS channels so that you have to have a license to
use it.

The way the FCC often looks at things if it don't say you can do it
you cannot. Of course this is not always the case. It don't say in
Part 97 one does not have to know the code to get a license. It does
state what is required, but what is NOT required.
However, in commercial serices often what one can do is spelled out
and if not spelled out one cannot. The rules often tell one what you
can do only.

I am thinking about doing a store and forward repeater for GMRS.
"store and forward" repeater(s) are forbidden on GMRS.
ALL repeaters and base stations must meet .002% frequency tolerance.
They also must meet the later transmitter audio filtering .
Small base stations, 5watts or less, and mobiles must meet the .005%
tolerance.
