CVRadio.org Christmas Valley Radio Group -- GRMS HT Functions

Notes :

  1. These are a few of the common functions of some of the popular GMRS Handheld Transceivers
  2. Wide or Narrow : Bandwidth, how much specturm the uses to transmit. FRS radios use Narrow exclusively, GMRS radios use Wide, except on the low power channels : 8 through 14.
  3. Language function : Some radios offer menus in English or Chinese, some offer voice prompts in English or Chinese
  4. Dual Watch : This is a function that allows the radio to listen on both channels A and B at the same time
  5. Not all radios have all of these functions. We have noted these in the chart as N/A, for Not Available.
