(Lot Of 2) Radio Shack GMSR/FRS 21-1918 Model Gray Two-Way Radio TESTED WORKING Uses (4) AAA Batteries. Missing Antenna Housing. See Pics. The image displays a Radio Shack 21-1918 GMRS/FRS Two-Way Radio, known for its compact size and features suitable for short-range communication. Here's a summary of its key features: Communication Capabilities: It operates on both GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) and FRS (Family Radio Service) frequencies, offering 15 GMRS and 7 FRS channels. Range and Channels: The radio boasts an extended long range, with a typical maximum range of 10 miles (though actual range can vary based on environmental and topographical conditions) and 22 channels for communication. Features for Convenience: It includes a channel scan function to find active channels, a monitor mode to listen to weak signals, a battery strength meter, a call button, and a roger beep to confirm transmissions. Power and Usage: The 21-1918 uses Four AAA alkaline batteries (not included) for power and is designed for ease of use in various situations, such as outdoor activities, sporting events, or neighborhood watch communication. Licensing Requirement: As it operates on GMRS frequencies, a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license is required for its operation. GMRS/FRS Two-Way Radio Walkie Talkie offers a versatile communication solution for various scenarios, particularly those where cell phone service might be unreliable or unavailable. Its primary uses include: Outdoor Recreational Activities:Ideal for maintaining contact during activities such as camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, skiing, and other outdoor adventures where groups might spread out and reliable communication is crucial for safety and coordination. Family and Group Coordination:Useful for families and groups to stay in touch during outings like carnivals, cruises, or even within large properties, allowing for easy communication among members. Emergency Preparedness: Provides a reliable method of communication during emergencies or disasters when cellular networks may be down, allowing for coordination and safety checks. Short-Range Professional Use:Can be employed in professional settings for on-site communication, such as in construction sites, event management, or security, where quick coordination is needed over a limited area. Vehicle-based Communication:While primarily handheld, it can be used in vehicles for communication during group travel or off-roading, though an external antenna might be needed for optimal range in some cases. Basic Communication Needs:Offers a straightforward and often license-free (for FRS channels) way to communicate instantly over short to medium distances without relying on external infrastructure like cell towers.
