FEATURES
Thank you for purchasing the
RadioShack 22ch GMRS/FRS Base
Station. Your radio is a new two-way,
short-range voice radio service that lets
families and groups keep in touch with
each other on specific reserved
channels. You can place it on a
desktop surface or mount it on a wall in
your home or office.
Your radio has 22 channels and 38
different quiet codes, which you can
use to talk with another person who has
a General Mobile Radio Service
(GMRS) or Family Radio Service (FRS)
radio set to the same frequency as your
radio.
!
Your radio has auto-squelch, so you
will not hear anything on a channel
unless someone is transmitting nearby
on the same channel. You can turn off
auto-squelch by pressing down
MON to
hear weaker, distant transmissions.
