<p>I have never had any luck using FRS radios. Things have very poor
range. And I am talking about the FRS radios you can buy that only
do FRS. Pretty worthless in my book. Anyone else have any luck
with FRS radios?</p>
<p>I have moved on to GoTennaMESH they work way way better.</p>

style="font-size:large;">GMRS and FRS regulations
have changed, but unlicensed FRS does not permit any
radio that has a removable antenna. Also radios
have to be certified under FCC Part 95. UV-5R isn't
on the list, and FCC is planning on banning the
import of any radio capable of being used on a
frequency that the unit is not licensed for. That
is if it isn't an amateur radio, in the future any
radio imported will only be able to be used on
amateur radio frequencies.</div>

<div class="ydp13dc0649yiv2781781992gmail_default"
style="font-size:large;">Also in the near future,
radios will not be legally allowed to be
manufactured, imported , or sold that can be used on
BOTH GMRS and FRS. This is going to cause a problem
for licensed amateur radio operators who own such
radios, like I do:</div>
