FRS radios, or Family Radio Service radios, are handheld communication devices that operate on specific radio frequencies. They are designed for short-range communication, typically up to two miles, making them ideal for activities like hiking, camping, or family outings. FRS radios do not require a license to operate, which makes them accessible for casual users. These radios usually feature multiple channels and are easy to use, often equipped with a push-to-talk button. They are powered by batteries and can be found in various models, some with additional features like weather alerts and built-in flashlights, enhancing their utility for outdoor adventures.
