There are new laws passed in the last year that deal with frequencies that can be used by churches etc - do these conform to the new law?

The newly banned frequencies are 698-806 MHz (the 700 MHz band) formerly used by some catv companies before the digital conversion, now used by emergency agencies such as police and fire. Banned frequency electronics are basically not sold new in the us anymore.. These mics are below that frequency, not affected by the ban, and a ok to buy and use. I have these, and they are fantastic for the money.

This unit can be used in a vehicle (if you are licensed to have one in the vehicle) or used in the home or office. It is not a digital scanner so it will probably not pick up most of the newer frequencies that most all the police, fire and ambulance agencies use now. I made this mistake but decised to keep the unit anyway. It comes with a telescopping antenna that plugs in the back of the unit.

The full range of frequencies, 88.1-107. It's funny that you asked that bc I just read that on the user guide yesterday lol!

Yes as long as you make sure they are using different channels and frequencies. We do it all the time.

The policy does state that frequencies may vary. You can request different frequencies, but that is NOT a guaranty that you will receive different ones. It all depends what we are shipped and have available from our manufacturer. We do try our best to fulfill orders with multiple of the same items using different frequencies as a courtesy.Thank you for your inquiry!

Part 97.401(a) of the Federal Code of Regulations: Primarily, it authorizes any use of radio technology for the "immediate safety of human life and immediate protection of property," regardless of all other FCC regulations, when no alternative is available. Otherwise, yes a license is required.

It wouldn't need to be. The hands free law states that 2-way radio can be used!

As I understand it, the transmitter falls under the "Low Power Broadcast" rules under the FCC Bulletins. Rules can change, and I am not an expert. I would recommend that you go to the FCC website http://www.fcc.gov/ and make an informed decision. I know that it is not the answer that you are looking for, but I hope that it helps.

Can't say about that. Again, this product violates FCC rules for RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). I do not recommend that you purchase it.

I'm not sure. my Grandson only had the one car so we never checked the frequency.

No. It's illegal to operate this radio without a license on any frequency . Even though it will transmit on frs frequencys. It would be a waste of money to buy this radio.

No, if you use the FRS or GMRS band channels. Check google for the corresponding channels to frequencies, just google frs or gmrs channel frequency list.

Look for FRS (Family radio service) radios sold everywhere. This radio is capable of operating on those frequencies as well as "M.U.R.S" channels (also no license required), but radio is not FCC type accepted for those services and would be a technical violation. A lot of people exceed the road speed limit, and a lot use these radios in the spirit if not the letter of the law. MURS is permitted 2 watts output to any antenna, on the radio or remote. FRS has a maximum power out permitted of 500 milliwatts (1/2 W) to an attached antenna ONLY. If you use FRS channels, stick with 1-7 as 8-14 can cause interference to GMRS licensed repeaters.

Yes on the ham bands. It broadcasts in the FRS bands, but to use it those frequencies would be illegal because it is FCC accepted for commercial use not recreational use.

Like much of the internet you get many wrong answers.I am an FCC license examiner and I am telling you there is NO part of the frequency spectrum this radio uses that does not require FCC approval to operate on.As one man stated you will receive hefty fines and your equipment will be confiscated when you are caught.And I do not mean hundreds of dollars it is thousands of dollars.

I encountered one organization that was using these radios out of the box. When I did some investigating, I discovered that they were using the radios on a frequency that was licensed to a local hospital for MEDCOM! Any use of these radios (in the United States at least) REQUIRES a license!

Yes, standard US frequency tuning. 10 KHz on AM .1 MHz on FM starting at 87.5
