My husband has one of those little hand held radios that he takes skiing or when Xcross country skiing. On the face of it it says GMRS/FRS. Is that what you are talking about?

Tanier, the GMRS/FRS radios are great for local neighbourhood communications. The problem is, they are restricted to a 1/2 watt of broadcast power in Canada. The GMRS/FRS are those little radios that you buy in the bubble pack pairs at Wal Mart or possibly Best Buy in Canada. Regardless, they should be a manditory part of a survival kit.
The only way to explain how a GMRS and FRS radio works and differ, I would need to sit down and explain everything in a way a casual user would understand.
