FRS stands for
Family Radio Service, one of the
citizen bands. Units operating on this
frequency are normally
small and low powered (1/2
watt), offering up to 14 different
channels and a 2-
mile communication range. They are primarily used for personal
communication.
FRS Radios do not require a license for their operation. Newer models offer lots of features, like pager integration, alphanumeric communication, etc.
