Power has nothing really to do with it to make it legal.


I beg to differ. FRS is, by FCC regulation, limited to a maximum
of 500mW ERP, and an antenna that is fixed/non-modifiable. Any
transmitter above that power level on FRS frequencies is very much
illegal.

That is actually not correct. GMRS licensees routinely use 5w on many
FRS frequencies. See http://www.gmrsweb.com/gmrsinter.html



Any ham radio is not FCC type accepted to transmit on FRS.

That is true.
