Good day, colleagues. I have a Midland GXT900 radio but it seems not compatible with another FRS radios using by Korean members (I try to use it on last game Ulsan against Daegu at Sunday, 24 but can't find any active channel). What kind of radio you using for games (Manufacturer and type)?

Most use the Radiotek RT-9.

The Motorola 5506 works well too.

Reason is that FRS Frequencies that most US makers use are those approved by the FCC. And those frequencies vary from country to country. Maybe checking on the frequency band of what you purchase will better assist you in getting the right radio. Or, just get two or more of the same radio.
All of US consumer radios operate on either the GMRS or FRS channels, and most support both. Below is a table showing the channel number, type of channel, and the frequency.

Channel Type Frequency
1 FRS / GMRS 462.5625
2 FRS / GMRS 462.5875
3 FRS / GMRS 462.6125

My radio frequency chart is the same as above. Radio have a 42 channels and 22 of that same as above. Another channels frequencies are not mentioned in user manual. This radio has been delivered from SF. I've ordered it through GMarket (gmarket.co.kr) web-store. Same radios we are using in games in Russia and Ukraine.
