It's an FM two-way walkie talkie. The GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) was created as a replacement for the old Citizen's Band radio system, and operates on a different frequency spectrum set aside specifically for that service.

The radios are generally limited to 2 watts of transmit power, and are FM to limit the maximum distance over average terrian of around 2 to 5 miles.

Can chatterbox frs x2 talk to gmrs x1?

The Chatterbox FRS X2 is designed for Family Radio Service (FRS) communication, while GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) radios can operate on different frequencies and have higher power limits. FRS radios can communicate with GMRS radios, but the reverse may not always be possible due to licensing requirements and the power differences. Additionally, it's important to note that GMRS users must have a license to operate on GMRS frequencies, while FRS does not require one. Therefore, while they can technically communicate, it's essential to consider the legalities and limitations involved.

How do I pick up the police on my midland lxt 480 two-way radio it has 36 channels?

The Midland LXT 480 radio operates in the 462-465 MHz GMRS/FRS band. The channels marked #8 to #14 operate on license-free frequencies with low power. All of the other channels require an FCC license, and there are severe penalties for using them to transmit without the proper license. Fire, police, ambulance, etc. don't operate in the GMRS/FRS frequency band. So you can't hear them with the LXT 480 unless you get into the guts of the radio and modify (rebuild) it.
