The Family Radio Service StoryA1The Family Radio Service StoryEver wish you could talk to someone who wasn’twithin earshot? Like contacting ski partners backat the lodge? Or letting a friend know how to findyou in a busy mall? Cobra’s microTalk FRS 305 is agreat way for friends or family to increase theirfun–and safe ty – by staying in touch while on the go.The FCC (Federal Communications Commission)has created 14 license free frequency bands,or channels, called Family Radio Service (FRS) frequencies.
