Book Review: About half true........
Summary: 3 Stars
The main difference between FRS and GMRS radios is that FRS units operate at lower power levels than GMRS, so they have a shorter range and do not require a license for operation. GMRS radios are more powerful and have a longer range but require at least one family member to get an operating license from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This information is about half true. The way to transmit further at these frequencies (UHF) is to have a higher antenna. Adding a few watts of power does little or nothing compared to adding a better (higher) antenna on your rooftop or raising your radios ten feet higher.
