A. There really is no such thing as such. The FRS/GMRS services have very short range in the FRS mode and the GMRS requires an FCC license to use. The FRS service is "family radio service", a low power service for short range point to point service. The GMRS is the "general mobile radio service and does require a license. You'd would be better off to go with CB radio. A pair of CB walkitalkies are not all that expensive if you really need a lot of range. The FRS cheap radio pairs over water may be good for a mile or so, but from one house to another won't hardly go more than a block away.

A. Radio Shack had one when the service (FRS) first came out BUT here are some facts: GMRS is a licensed band, meaning you actually have to buy a license from the FCC to broadcast there.. most mass marketers don't push that fact and this is the reason why you get the excellent range on some channels for..cause you are broadcasting illegally on higher powered GMRS frequencies. GMRS can use business band equipment meaning a setup that looks like a CB in a way but more looks like a radio you'd find in a police or fire vehicle and is channelized just like them FRS radios are mandated to have the radio attached to the antenna and the reason you can't get them usually without them being a handheld for (The radio shack version had the radio in… [cont.]

A. I assume the radio you have is the kind anyone can buy at a Big Box Store...with that you can talk only to someone who has another , similar radio. To talk to a Ham (licensed amateur radio operator) you must be a licensed amateur radio operator. You must pass a test that demonstrates your knowledge of radio theory and your knowledge of the rules and regs of the FCC. You're then allowed to communicate with other hams, but only with other hams, and only within the constraints of the license. So, find your local ham club by visiting www.arrl.org. They can help you get started, and they often administer the test. Welcome aboard!
