Everything has it's place. We have several FRS only radios and several FRS/GMRS bubble pack radios. In an area outside of New Jersey where we have a large tract of land we use the FRS/GMRS radios frequently while working about the property to communicate. We use the FRS because we do not want to broadcast what we are doing. There is actually a "prepper" group in that area that advocates a communications system to it's members and they recommend: * the use of FRS only radios for use around one's individual property, for communicating among people watching - working - or protecting your individual property * the use of a FRS/GMRS bubble pack radio by one person - they recommend the person in charge at each property - to communicate from your individual property to a neighborhood coordinator * the use of a MURS or GMRS radio - handheld - mobile - base as needed to effectively communicate from the neighborhood coordinator to a group "headquarters" * their "headquarters" apparently has almost every kind of radio available The point of my post is that there is a legitimate need and use for FRS radios and I support using the least amount of power necessary in order to communicate effectively.

Thanks - no biggie - was just curious - generally there is no one ever and I mean ever on 725. We use it as our home channel on all of our units while in NJ. We had picked this frequency because we never ever heard anyone on it. Anyway - hope everyone has a great day - a happy and safe Halloween ! Dan
