Those are the GMRS channels and that is correct you do have to have a license to brodcast on the GMRS frequencies. If your radios have the options to select the signal output you should be able to use the shared FRS/GMRS channels at the lower output w/o a license. The following link may help tell the difference in the FRS and GMRS fchannels, please look around the rest of the site for any other answers you might want. http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/personal/family/ We also had a hug discussion about this a couple months ago, you may want to check the list archives.
