FRS (Family Radio Service)

Family Radio Service (FRS) is a short-range electronic communication system that uses walkie-talkie style radios for personal, non-commercial use. Operating on specific frequencies within the 450 MHz band, FRS devices allow users to communicate over distances typically up to 2 miles, depending on terrain and conditions. They are easy to operate, require no licenses, and are commonly used for family outings, camping, or small group communications. FRS radios offer a practical, reliable way to stay connected in local settings where cell phone coverage might be limited or to avoid relying on mobile networks.
