This is a radio used in outdoor activities, the business sector and military use these more often than not. It is a great way to keep in contact with people in short range. Some claim up to 25 miles range but that all depends on the terrain in the area and obstructions.

Where can one purchase GMRS two way radios?

GMRS two-way radios can be purchased from many places. Some of these include Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Costco, Rei, Buytwowayradios, Cabela's and eBay.


Which two way radios have the longest range of reception?

Ham radios can be used to communicate across around 1000 miles or more. However these are strictly regulated and you can get into serious trouble if you use them improperly. For handheld radios the best quality is from a GMRS radio, which you often see plumbers and electricians employ as worktools. These also require licenses to operate within specific areas.


What is the most powerful business 2-way radio you can get that doesn't require a license and where can you get it?

Look for MURS, (Multiple User Radio System) radios. They can be found in a lot of tool and contractor supply catalogues and on the internet. They are 5 watt, (I think) radios and do not require a license for handheld operation. Anything that has a higher power such as GMRS or other business-type FM radios does require an FCC License. Unlicensed operation of one of these radios can be very expensive if you get caught. Hope this helps.

Can you talk to a walkie talkie using a citizen band radio?

That depends on what type of handheld radio you're using. They do make handheld CB radios. They have both 40 channel handhelds, and single channel handhelds (some of which may actually be three channel with the purchase of additional radio crystals). The single channel handhelds typically use Channel 14 as a default. FM radios, such as those used in FMRS, GMRS, Business Radio, emergency services, etc. do not use the same frequencies as CB radios, and cannot communicate with them.


Keep your family in touch with two-way radios?

Personal communications has never been easier with today’s two-way radios. Two-way radios are an excellent way of keeping your family in touch when they are at an event, festival, outdoors, or shopping. Some of the benefits of two way radios are price, effectiveness, and safety. Two-way radios for family use come in either the license free FRS band or with the FCC licensed GMRS band. Both bands use similar channels and frequencies, but the licensed GMRS band lets you use more powerful radios which will cover a larger range. FRS radios have a range of 1-2 miles while a GMRS radio can cover up to 5-7 miles. A GMRS license is $85 and is good for the entire family for five years. The biggest advantage of using two-way radios instead of cell phones to stay in touch is the cost. Once you purchase the radios, there is no charge for airtime. You can talk as long as you want without racking up charges. Two-way radios are also a one to many communications tool. With a cell phone it is difficult to coordinate three or more parties as you can only talk to one person at a time. Two-way radios let you talk to your entire group at once and coordinate everyone cheaply and effectively. Another advantage of using a two-way radio than is cell phone is that the radios work great in remote or wooded areas. Many cell phones will not work in wilderness areas as cell towers are not usually found in sparsely populated areas. But two-way radios do not rely on cellular networks, so they will keep your group in touch even in the most remote wilderness areas. Most two-way radios have multiple channels and security codes, so you can keep your conversations private from other two-way radio users. Some models even have scrambling technology built into them for more enhanced privacy. Using two-way radios is a great way to keep in touch with your family or friends at an event or outside. They are a cost effective communication solution to save you time and money.
