This is all very new to me, so if I sound like I don't know what I am asking it is most likely that I don't.
I just recently acquired an Icom IC F21 radio It was advertised as functioning on FRS channels the same as my small "walkie talkies" Motorola Talkabouts and Cobra Microtalks. I cannot seem to get it to transmit to these smaller radios.
Do I have a different version of the F21 that does not transmit on FRS?
( My version has the channel selector knob on top 1-16)
Is the wattage of the Icom radio to high to be received by the smaller FRS radios?
Is this radio possibly not programmed?
These might be completely wrong, but from the searching I did before coming here it is the only questions I could come up with.
I purchased this radio because I wanted to be able to interface my pryme throatmike and still transmit on FRS to my wife at the house while out running and hiking.
I would appreciate any help at all, I am completely new to anything other than basic FRS radios and am happy to learn all that I can.
