Talking and Listening 6864110r06o.book Page 16 Tuesday, March 5, 2002 5:00 PM Remember that FRS radios operate at 0.5 watts of transmit power. On channels1-7, your radio operates at 1 watt. In certain situations, when talking to FRS radios on channels 1-7, it is possible that they will be able to hear you, but you will not be able to hear them. This is because you are transmitting with more power (1 watt) than the FRS radio (0.5 watts).
