Which Of The 1 - 14 FRS Channels Do You Use


are you kidding? maybe if you go to disneyland. it's such short range, i rarely hear anyone on there...
 
Years ago I used channel 8 with my MURS/FRS crossband repeater. I also used it for simplex operation. I can't remember my reasoning for picking that channel, though.

I haven't used FRS in quite some time.

I'll have to stream an FRS scan for the forum sometime from my house...it's ridiculous.
 
OK, I should say that I've only scanned with FRS radios, usually inside. I'm sure a rooftop antenna and a good receiver would expose more.

I can imagine a lot of greasy kid stuff...
 
I rarely use it, it is usually dead, although when I have it on <rarely>, it is on channel 1. It is so short range..try MURS and you will notice a difference.....

I second that, try climbing up on top of a cell tower and tell me nobody is on FRS, in a typical suburban neighboorhood expect annoying and disrespectful little kids to be on just about every channel

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned
