FRS Radioes question
This FRS set came in a 2 unit package on sale for 29.95 for 2 of em.
And the instructions were explicit. I called the FCC at Washn just to find out which chnls were restricted to fcc license and which were not. 1 thru 7 do require FCC license for useage and cost is $75. 8 thru 14 If I remember correctily were free use no license required. 15 and up were also restricted to FCC licensing. I parked on 12 and have been useing it with no no problems as long as range did'nt exceed about 10 miles. Instructions said limit was 7 miles coverage for the free chnls. For the FCC chnls the range is 14 miles and the ouput power is more than the free ones. My wife even on chnl-12 was calling me but could'nt reach me from about12 miles away, but lo and behold the Police answered her and asked if she was in trouble. I had no idea the 911 people scanned those freqs too, but apparently they do. Thats a plus far as I can see.
