I think everyone has missed JP's point. <br>

In an emergency, a person can use anything on any band to secure
assistance if life is being threatened. <br>

Typen, your last email about programming the Arcshell units was
very much appreciated.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I had unsubscribed from the user forum last week as I found
that the advice given enabled me (I thought!) to reprogram
several units without a hitch. I changed all the channels to the
first 16 FRS-approved channels, but I did not lower the power
setting for those permitted only for 0.5 W on the first
iteration as I just wanted to ascertain if I had done things
otherwise correctly. No other program settings were changed
before uploading the new settings to the units. Indeed, the two
units functioned OK it seemed until I tried to use the
‘scanning’ function assigned in the OEM programming to Channel
16. This had worked under the previous OEM programming. I found
that it would not work on either unit after changing the
channels, even though they could send and receive on all the
other channels properly. I want the scanning facility preserved
on all the units so I re subscribed to the Users Forum in hope
of a solution.</div>

<div>I understand from you and your colleagues that this unit is
still not FCC approved and will never be unless certain changes
are made and the units are then officially approved. Rest
assured they won’t be given into the hands of 3 years olds to
talk on the beach, but only used briefly and hopefully rarely in
the event of an impending fire disaster in our community with
some frail neighbors who need checking on if cell towers and
power lines are down (which has happened before). I appreciate
all you guys’ expert advice and I trust you will still impart
whatever guidance needed here to bring this feature back.</div>

<div>Thanking you,</div>
