I saw a list of frequencis a while back for the above named services. It was a list of 50 frequencies. Does anybody know where it is on this site.

Please help

That list is BS. 402.5625 and 151.625 are not MURS, FRS or GMRS and some of the others are duplicated.

And 164.400 isn't MURS, either. Looks like a number of typos.
And using "QRP" to describe MURS makes this look a lot like some list a ham made up, which should come as a warning.

As always, best to get the frequencies direct from the source:
MURS frequencies: Multi-Use Radio Service (MURS)
FRS frequencies: Family Radio Service (FRS)
GMRS frequencies: General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS)

And, yes, FRS and GMRS share frequencies.
Before dumping all these into a Baofeng, make sure you understand type acceptance, power levels, deviation, and that some services are not legal to use with others.

Most of the information in our FRS/GMRS/MURS (and many other) wiki articles came straight from the FCC, not from some prepper blog or youtube channel or something.

Yeah, the Wiki seems to be correct.
Unfortunately there is too much bad info floating around on the internet. Hoping that new licensees would get correct info direct from the source. Not someone else putting their own spin on it.

We have too many Baofengs out there. Too many people buying radios and programming software assuming the Youtube "expert" can cover all the bases. Too many people putting the wrong radios on the wrong frequencies and assuming it's OK because some stranger on the internet said it was.

Usually, except FCC itself made a typo for GMRS; 467.5675 is listed but should be 467.5625. My understanding is that typo went so far as to be codified but they've tried to correct with instructions to labs certifying GMRS equipment (see footnote #9 on page 4 of the linked PDF). I bought a part 95E-certified radio and found it had the wrong frequency in it, took many e-mails with the manufacturer to convince the frequency on the FCC webpage is wrong.

I don't know about where to find it on the Internet, but from my notes:

The list of all the proper freqs is in the wiki, Radio Reference users have done a great job keeping it up to date and accurate. Just don't understand why people won't check the RR wiki.
