FRS Radioes question
What model do you have? Joseph Fenn wrote: -- Joe Leikhim K4SAT "The RFI-EMI-GUY"© "Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason? For if it prosper, none dare call it treason." "Follow The Money" ;-P Joe says again, I bought them (2) in a plastic pack on sale at radio shack 2 weeks ago and they said FRS. $29.95 on their big sale day last week Saturday. I read the data sheet that came with them and the ranges quoted are (for the free chnls) 7 miles. Chnls 1 to 7. and think chnls 15 on up are FCC license required. Fpr the Licensed chnls the range is 14 miles. I chose 12 and locked both units to 12 which is free useage. I still wonder how the 911 crew at Hawaiian Telcom got into the act but they did. So must be they monitor even the license free chnls. I can understand if they somehow have a scanner working on the licensed chnls thats a good idea for sure. You got the ranges wrong. Its 7 and 14. I live on a hill and my wife did find a hot spot at the huge Ala Moana center and we carried on a conversation for a few minutes then quit. Thats over 10 miles from home. Joe |
