FRS

Family Radio Service (FRS) frequencies like the ones found in our Kenwood FreeTalk TK-3131, are meant for recreational use and do not require licensing in the United States.

GMRS and LMR

The other two way radio products listed on the Radio Service Online Web site operate on FM frequencies that are subject to the rules and regulations of the local communication governing agencies. These agencies may require that all operators using private land mobile or general mobile radio frequencies obtain a radio license before operating their equipment. The operator receives a license for use of the radio equipment under a specific eligibility and on a particular frequency or set of frequencies. To determine eligibility for use of private land mobile radio frequencies, contact your local communications governing agency. This agency can supply information required to properly obtain and complete the license application form.
