Cobra & Uniden walkie talkies

[cartman]

Hello all. Does anyone on here have any idea what frequency band those small size Cobra and Uniden walkies talkies use. I don't have a frequency counter to use and thought maybe it might be too low to program into a scanner. Thanks for any and all help.

Defintley not! Walkie-Talkies use frequencies also known as FRS/GMRS.


Channel Frequency (MHz) Notes
1 462.5625 Shared with GMRS.
2 462.5875 Shared with GMRS.
3 462.6125 Shared with GMRS.
4 462.6375 Shared with GMRS.
5 462.6625 Shared with GMRS.
6 462.6875 Shared with GMRS.
7 462.7125 Shared with GMRS.
8 467.5625 FRS use only
9 467.5875 FRS use only
10 467.6125 FRS use only
11 467.6375 FRS use only
12 467.6625 FRS use only
13 467.6875 FRS use only
14 467.7125 FRS use only

Although a lot of people use channel 1-7 unlicensed, it is illegal without a licence. The manual says you must have a GMRS licence to operate GMRS frequencies.

These are in FM, and if you have the CTCSS feature on your scanner, also known as PL, you will see what they are using for their "private" freqs, although they are just PL tones.

On a releated topic does anyone have the freq that a lot of the "toy" walkie talkies use. Im talikng about the "licenced" (not radio licenced) toys like spongebob, spiderman, ironman, Gi joe etc. These are not FRS/GMRS. The packages used to list them in the 49.8 mhz or 27.1 area but they dont appear to be on these anymore.

I would double check! Those should be on FRS channels. Tri square possibly,but I doubt it highly.

Old post, I know...

I have an old walkie talkie (approx. 20 years old) and few of the new toy walkie talkies and they are all still on the 49.8xxx frequencies. The ones I have tend to bleed over a bit, but they focus on 49.8500 and 49.8600 (same as baby monitors).
