What is Family Radio Service? In 1996, the Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) set aside one part of the FM radio frequency spectrum foruse by small groups at short range. Use of this UHF range--from 462.5625 to467.7125 MHz--is free and doesn't require an FCC license.
In addition to the basic 14 channels of FRS, the Unwired Technology UFR8502radio also feature 38 CTCSS subcodes--also referred to as privacy codes.CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) enables the radio's squelch,which filters out nuisance signals, to operate at a specific subaudibletone. To use the subcodes, you and others who you will be communicatingwith will needs to set your radios to the same subcode. Using CTCSS codesis great if you are in a busy area and want to avoid most interference.Note, though, that subcodes will not scramble your conversation orcompletely protect you from eavesdroppers (for instance if others arecommunicating on the same frequency and subcode combination).
Save your favorite frequencies with the UFR8502's five memory settings. Youcan also use the voice-activation feature to operate these radioshands-free. The channel-scan feature allows you to search availablefrequencies for a clear channel and monitor activity from othertransmitting radios.
The Unwired Technology UFR8502 radio comes with an LCD screen. It runs forup to 26 hours on four AAA batteries. Use this radio with the optionalsingle-well charger for continuous and convenient charging. The radio alsohas jacks for an optional microphone, earphone, or headset.
