MURS ?

A Location helps, major events will contains congestion of frequencies, give a little more detail for a better educated response
The biggest difference between FRS and GMRS is the power and licensing. GMRS requires a license to use. That will be channels 1-7 and 15-22 in your radio (this is in the manual that comes with them). GMRS can operate on a higher power level and can also have repeaters. For just general license free chatting Murs is a better choice than FRS as it allows more power. Have I ever heard of someone with bubble pack radios getting charged for transmitting without a license on GMRS.... No I haven't, but I suppose it could be a thing. Then there's always CB if you're wanting to go that route.
How do I know what channels are better for my usage. FRS vs GMRS?Also note that the Cobra CX112 (as well as the CXT145, CX116A, CX131A, CXT145C and CXT195) transmit at under 1/3 Watt on all 22 channels (FRS and GMRS). It is really only good for very short range (maybe 1/4 mile) communications.

What's the deal with channel 7? My cobra cx112 uses the mini headphones and I need a Male mini to a female 3.5 jack.
If you want more "range" get yourself a VHF radio, not a UHF radio.
I am specifically talking about MURS (Multi-Use Radio Service). Get yourself a pair of 5 watt MURS radios and program in one of the MURS frequencies on both units.
CB SSB 100W now that's interesting!
I some cases 2 W on VHF can perform better than 5 W on UHF but it depends on several things. The range chart and almost everything else on that web site is BS.Why does it list MURS 2 watts further that GMRS 5 watts?
