I have the AAL shelf, its pretty darn nice and is a substantial piece of gear. Just be warned that its brackets do block other solutions that like to bolt onto the roll bars.
Column 2 is what you should put in the "name" field which you can't really see unless you configure the radio to display that instead of the frequency number, Column 3 is just a description so you know what it means.
Goes back to my older comment, print the table and tape it to your sunvisor or...
This lays it our pretty good: https://woofthebeatenpath.com/gmrs-frs-channel-list-with-explanation/
Whats really fun is now that Midland is making these nice 25 watt and 50 watt mobile radios kinda cheap, is that all these folks who used to only be transmitting at 5 watt are now blasting out...
I concur with this, loading the GMRS channels is really handy. I always load these into my radio using the same channel numbers, ie memory #1 is GMRS channel #1. That way you don't really have to remember what frequency GMRS16 is, you just go to channel 16.
Something worth noting too is that...
These are probably the only frequencies you really need load:

Repeater book is an app for finding repeaters placed on hilltops which you can use to communicate over very long distances. It can be useful to have a couple repeaters saved in your memory, because even a handheld can talk through repeaters that are 20-30 miles away. Repeaters use TWO...
Another model I use is the BF-F8HP, it has a larger battery than the UV-5R, and can do 8 watts, tho I usually set it to 5 watts anyway. Mine came unlocked. The UV-5R has some nice bundles available for two units with extended batteries and headsets and whatnot...
I’ve been on two runs, both times we used HAM VHF frequencies (~144Mhz). I just like programming my Baofeng for GMRS to extend its capabilities. I recently did the MARS mod to my Yaesu in the rig to achieve the same thing.
I've got some tips for you :)

Next SCB event I'm at I'll bring my Bluetooth programmer and slam in memory channels for you if...
If anyone here represents the early bronco website your captcha setup is broken so nobody can make a new account. I discerned from a Facebook post that we get moving around 815 for a photo and 9A start for some trail drives
I'm hoping to get better information friday night. There are also Friday runs apparently. The webpage has very little detail other than the dates and hotel, which is now sold out. I got the last room on Friday night. Their EBR forum registration is broken, it wants you to fill out a CAPTCHA...
