Can the SDS-100 talk with FRS walkie talkies?

[dimsone503]

I've found out how to scan and listen to all FRS walkie talkie communications in my surrounding area, but I cannot talk back to them.

If this is possible, any assistance you can lend me would be awesome.

Thank you all.

No, the SDS100 is a scanner only. It cannot transmit on any radio band.

A scanner, like the SDS-100, is a receive only device. It can not communicate with stations heard. You would need to purchase a FRS walkie talkie to talk to them.

Thank you.

SDS100 can monitor FRS. It is scanner, not a transceiver so therefore it cannot transmit on any band

FRS radios are cheap. Especially compared to the SDS100. Just get one.
