What is FRS? The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) authorized Family Radio Service in 1996 as a short distance, unlicensed, two-way voice radio service for general purpose use. Family Radio Service is meant to be used for direct, personal voice communications among two or more people.

FRS radios are personal two-way(send/receive) radios which conform to the FCC FRS specifications. In brief, they're an inexpensive and easy way to communicate with family and friends over short distances(under 2 miles). They can be used within a neighborhood or while at a shopping mall, ball game, amusement park, ect. FRS radios can be used by groups engaged in activities that take people out of sight or earshot of each other while remaining in the same general area, such as while hiking, hunting, camping, bicycling, caravanning, etc, FRS radios are small, rugged and easy to use, so they can be used by children as well as adults.
