Hello,
I recently purchased a Baofeng BF-F9V2+. I do not have any licenses yet.
After reading multiple forums, it seems that it would be illegal for me to transmit on FRS frequencies. However, from the FCC website, my understanding is that FRS channels are free to use so long as the transmission power is 2W and the bandwidth is 12.5 kHz. If I constrain my Baofeng to these parameters, can I legally transmit on FRS frequencies (aside from the 0.5W channels of course)? If not, why?

Thank you!!
