The Family Radio Service (FRS) is a two-way radio service designed for short-distance communication. It operates on specific frequencies in the UHF band and is commonly used for personal and family communication during outdoor activities, such as hiking or camping. FRS radios are typically lightweight, portable, and easy to use, making them accessible for people of all ages. FRS does not require a license to operate, which makes it popular among casual users. The service is limited to a maximum power output of 2 watts, ensuring that communication remains local. FRS radios often feature multiple channels, allowing users to select a clear frequency for their conversations.
