| | | FRS Radios are on the 400mhz band, CB Radios are on the 20mhz band. At all the meets I have been to, we have used an FRS frequency to communicate with other explorers, so any Commercial radio you get that will operate on the 400mhz band, you could programm it to communicate on FRS. What Campus Security do you want to listen to. also from looking, you will probably be spending in the range of 150 to 200 to get a basic commercial radio, charger, and speaker mic. From my looking the radios that are in the low end that are most used are Kenwood TK-3102 (2ch that can be converted to 16CH) Motorola SP-50 (Make sure its UHF, the 2ch can supposedly be converted to 10ch) Motorola GP-300 Motorola HT1000 Motorola P1225 (Make sure its UHF, 16ch) Those are the low end/lower priced ones that I have learned about from the guys on here, and searching Ebay. For purchasing them, I am not sure of a local place to get them, most times if you go local you will be changed a much higher price then going ebay. I am looking for a few radios, and the best prices I have seen are from searching Ebay, and getting them there. I have just gotten in to this stuff, so I may not be 100% right on, but anything that I missed or screwed up on the other much knowledgable guys on here will fix or post. Conundrum

| | | Posted by tbone the one particular frequency i'm trying for is 166.59 (mhz i think)
|
After doing a TAFL (Technical and Administrative Frequency Lists) lookup on that frequency (166.59mhz) It comes back as licenced to Laidlaw Transit. the radios I posted will not go that low in the spectrum, to get that you would have to look for another radio that would operate on the VHF frequencies, or use a Scanning Radio (RX only) Posted by tbone so basically the difference between a dedicated FRS radio and one of the ones that conundrum mentioned is that those are programmable and could be used on FRS band as well as other freqs?
|
the ones I mentioned can operate on the 400mhz band, which is the same band that FRS and GMRS operates on, some radios are narrower in which frequencys they will work on, some are wider, e.g. one may only do 420mhz to 480mhz, yet another one may do 400mhz to 500mhz. most of the commercial radios can be programmed by just getting the software and programming cable/rib, and connecting it to the radio. the other advantage of commercial over frs radios is the durability, and reliability. Posted by tbone how about police/fire system? i understand this is a trunked system, and i think exkalibur once said something about needing a trunk-tracker for this usage...

For police, fire, ambulance, gov, etc you would need somthing like the Motorola MTX8000 Type II Trunking for handheld/portable, or a MOTOROLA SPECTRA 800MHZ Radio for Mobile. Conundrum
