    Newbie question about GRMS and FRS

    I am a first-time scanner owner. I recently purchased a BCD396XT with a Watson SMA-881 Super Gainer. I am using ARC-XT Pro and RR to program and so far everything is going great. I live on the 17th floor in a condo so I am getting pretty good coverage on several local South Florida agencies...

    Poor distance of Kenwood TK-33xx

    We have a number of TK-32xx and 22xx radios. With them, we cannot communicate between our two buildings, less than 100 feet apart. A pair the the cheap FRS radios, on 500 milliwatts will. What is wrong with the commercial radios?
