does higher power mean anything more than just more range?

Yep, just more range. The reason you need an operators license to legally operate it, is because of the limited freq that FRS uses, if everyone had a 5 mile range FRS, pretty soon they may become unusable because of all of the cross traffic. We have trouble using our FRS's as it is at one field we play at because there is a horse track nearby, and some home construction. I cant imagine how much more interfence we might have if all of the FRS's had 5 mile range capability.
So licensing cuts down on the people using them...

but you cant get like turned down for a liscence right? Since 5 mile radios are still easily available (best buy) I wouldnt think it would do much to stunt the growth of them. I mean they arent as well know as like the motorola talkabouts but they are still easy to get.

Sure you can get turned down, if you don't pass the test. That alone would deter a lot of people, its not really worth the trouble.

Actually, for the GRMS License, it doesn't look like you have to take a test, but you have to fill out several forms and pay $75. www.pe.net/~atd/fcc605.htmThere is the process if interested. |
