THE FAMILY RADIO SERVICE STORY
The FCC (Federal Communication Commission) has created 14 high
quality, license free frequency bands, or channels for Family Radio
Service (FRS). Any of these 14 channels are easily accessed on your Cobra
FRS 200 with a single push of a button. These new UHF FM frequencies
provide you with ultra clear, high penetrating signals that allow high
quality communications in most environments. The FCC regulates the
amount of output power that any FRS (Family Radio Service) Transceiver
can have. The maximum output is 500mW power capacity. Your Cobra
FRS 200 is equipped with 500mW power to guarantee maximum distance
and full range capabilities.
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 violation of the technical regulations of Part 95 of the FCC Rules, or
violation of Type Acceptance requirements of Part 2 of the Rules.
TALK RANGE
Your FRS 200 has been designed to maximize performance, however talk
range depends on the terrain. These are line-of-sight radios and although
this radio uses UHF frequencies, talk range will be reduced in dense
foliage and mountainous areas. Maximum range will be obtained in flat,
open areas.
