Hey Guys,
After reading the following thread (
UHF RAdio Users - Compatibility Information), I still don't completely understand the radio compatibility criteria.
I have an opportunity to get a used Yaesu 60R and I was wondering if it works on the FRS/GMRS frequencies. I understand that FRS/GMRS operates around 460-470 MHz, but is this transmitting or recieving? The 60R seems to be able to receive on that frequency, but does not transmit. Will this be a problem? Or have I misunderstood something?
Thanks.
