 A few years ago when we were experimenting with these low-power vehicular radios, we purchased a simple mast and tripod from and put up a small ground plain vertical antenna at our base camp at an elevation repeaters of about 16 feet above ground--that installation VASTLY improved the quality of our audio and the distance of the communication. Here are some questions and tips to consider if you plan vehicular to get FRS radios: How often do you plan to use the radios for? If it is only going to be used for limited purposes, you might save some money and get a scaled down model. If however you plan to use them extensively, a few extra bucks repeaters up front may make you a happier camper. For extensive users, also consider the battery used to vehicular power the FRS radio - you repeaters might want to get a model that uses rechargeable batteries, otherwise you will spend some extra money for batteries. The advent of the Family Radio Service and GRMS has opened a whole new possibility for reliable short-range communications, and depending on your needs they may just fill the bill --or they may not. Understand that ANY means of radio communication can save lives, exchange information and simply be fun, so that is endorsement enough. Most of these radios operate on frequencies just above the 70 cm Amateur Bands...somewhere around 462-467 Mhz. The major players all produce satisfactory equipment with similar standards so, for the price conscious, dollars can be saved if you know what to look for. First look at the specifications; the more watts of vehicular power out, the further your signal will travel. Beginners note that 700mw (milliwatts) is LESS than 1w (watt). More watts, more power, more distance. The manufacturer''s range claims are not fraudulent or specious, but they can be repeaters misleading vehicular unless you are in clear country, the ideal conditions for distance communications. Don''t expect a two mile range in heavy terrain, you won''t get it...sometimes you won''t get 200 yards. But for inner-mall talking with your kids and repeaters family members, most of them are ok. I''ve also used them on fly fishing trips where we have seldom been vehicular more than a quarter mile from camp and they were fine. Our company is committed to complete customer satisfaction!
