The addition of FRS (Family Radio Service) frequencies
by the Federal Communications Commission has opened a large segment
of space for hobby type communications. Never lose your friends
or family in crowds or crowded outdoor or indoor areas again!
Many radios are now on the market in all price ranges in this
new service.
The old axiom of "You get what you pay for"
has never been so true as it is in this type of equipment. Before
buying, check out these features. How many channels are in the
radio? How are the different channels selected? Is there signalling
capability to alert another unit in use by your party? Is there
tone coding on each channel so you don't need to listen to others
on your same channel? What kind of battery power is required and
what is the cost of replacement? Do you need to recharge batteries
every day or does your unit operate on disposables?
When you compare the features and operational ease
of the Kenwood FRS radios, it will become quickly obvious that
you are getting your money's worth. Kenwood radios have accessories
like hands free operation for surveying, headsets for use in high
noise environments and belt clips with every radio as standard
equipment.
