Cobra Electronics Corp.© 2000 Printed in Thailand Part No. 00000 “Ingenious Products for Easier Communication.” The Family Radio Service Story The Family Radio Service Story Ever wish you could talk to someone who wasn’t within earshot? Like contacting ski partners back at the lodge? Or letting a friend know how to find you in a busy mall? Cobra’s microTalk FRS 305 is a great way for friends or family to increase their fun–and safety–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. All of these 14 channels are easily accessed on your Cobra FRS radio. These channels are in the UHF (Ultra High Frequency) band which means great penetration through buildings, thick forests, hills, and other dense structures. They are also FM (Frequency Modulation) signals which means crystal clear reception even in crowded noisy environments. FCC Warnings Replacement or substitution of transistors, regular diodes or other parts of a unique nature, with parts other than those recommended by Cobra, may cause a violation of the technical regulations of part 95 of the FCC Rules, or violation of Type Acceptance requirements of Part 2 of the Rules.
