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 220 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
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.
