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.
