FRS Radioes question
"Joseph Fenn" wrote in message va.net... I bought 2 of these tiny little FRS radioes so could keep in touch with wife when she takes her daily walks. I called the FCC and asked them if any kind of license is required to use thses. They said certain chnls do require FCC license which costs $75 for a 1 year period. Chnls 1 thru 7 need this license also the higher chnls I believe was 16 to 20 also require FCC license. The others do not require any license or ID when used. So I set both hers and mine to chnl 12 (frs free useage chnl). These free chnls per docs have a range of up to 7 miles. The FCC licensed chnls with same unit have a range up to 14 miles. When my wife was trying to reach me from a shopping center about 10 miles away she did find a spot that worked. But next time we tried I Could'nt hear her well only a sylable or 2. She says after she tried 4 or 5 times, some one came up and said this is the "POLICE" do you need help!!! How in the heck does FCC get into the picture or better yet how does the FCC even monitor these FRS chnls. I thought they only monitor 911. Joe Did it make you want to give your FRS a Botox facial? Try not to get any on your echo mic. |
