The Family Radio Service Story
The Family Radio Service Story
Ever wish you could talk to someone who wasn’t within earshot? Like contacting ski partners back at the lodge? Or letting a friend know how to find you in a busy mall? Cobra®’s microTALK® FRS 110 is a great way for friends or family to increase their fun–and safety–by staying in touch while on the go.
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has created 14 license free frequency bands,
or channels, called Family Radio Service (FRS) frequencies. These channels are in the UHF (Ultra High Frequency) band which means great penetration through buildings, thick forests, hills, and other dense structures. They are also FM (Frequency Modulation) signals which means crystal clear reception even in crowded noisy environments.
FCC Warnings
Replacement or substitution of transistors, regular 1 diodes or other parts of a unique nature, with
parts other than those recommended by Cobra®, may cause a violation of the technical regulations of part 95 of the FCC Rules, or violation of Type Acceptance requirements of Part 2 of the Rules.
