Is this the radio you are asking about?
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8805037&type=product&id=1209165020469
According to the ad, it has 7 FRS channels, 7 FRS/GMRS channels, 8 FGMRS channels, and 14 "extra" channels, whatever they mght be. I can't find any information about what they might be but it doesn't sound like you should be able to use them without a license.
By the time it gets though the inefficent antenna, it's probably more like a watt of ERP.
If anyone finds out what the extra 14 freqs. are, please PM me.
CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THEY HAVE THIS PRODUCT
Midland - 30-Mile, 42-Channel FRS/GMRS 2-Way Radios (Pair) - Black/Silver
THEY ARE ON BESTBUY.COM AND I WANTED TO KNOW IF THEY REALLY HAD THIS KIND OF RANGE?
Can someone explain how to use a GMRS repeater? Do you pay monthy to use it? Special radios?
I have a couple Motorola GMRS/FRS radios that claim 28-miles. Yeah right. More like 1/2 mile at best.
But, I keep hearing something about these repeaters. Your response is appreciated!
