In the real world, FRS does about two miles. The distance claims on FRS
radios is highly exaggerated! Yes, there are circumstances they could do
ten miles, maybe over water, or if you both were standing on high hills in
the desert. Added to that, scanners are not optimized for those
frequencies, so it may be that an inexpensive FRS radio, will do better
receiving another FRS radio, than the typical scanner can.

Thanks. One question? I've been scanning through those freq's and
never get nothing. Wal-Mart is only about 5 miles from me. From
reading these Cobra's can reach up to about 10 miles. Any idea why I'm
not hearing anything. Is there a way that Wal-Mart could possibly have
them blocked from being heard?

I noticed today that my local walmart uses these for communication.
What freq range would I scan with my scanner to hear them?
