FRS in close call

[mike619]

What tuning setings should be used in a BCD396XT for picking up FRS with close call if anyone could help?

just leave it alone and go into another room to test, or at least a couple of feet.
450.0000 to 469.9875 NFM 12.5 UHF Standard Band
so 12.5 is the right step.

In close call bands just leave UHF-Band 6- 320-512 MHz turned on also try a UHF antenna?

Or, just program the 22 channels into your scanner and let it find the FRS/GMRS radios. With so few channels, it should do it pretty quick, and you won't need to be so close to the users.

mike619, yes.

And be close, very close.
