Motorola Talkabout Radio Frequencies
So let's talkabout the Motorola Talkabouts MH230R and other models that are available to everyone at low, wholesale prices at Tech Wholesale. They transmit and receive on what's known as the Family Radio Service (FRS) and the General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) radio frequencies. The combination of FRS and GMRS in a single walkie-talkie means Motorola Talkabout Radios offer a total of 22 possible radio frequencies for your two-way radio communication convenience.
Important Note: the FCC requires a business two-way radio license to use the GMRS radio frequencies. A business two-way radio license for GMRS does cost money, but is essentially a matter of filling out a form and doesn't require frequency coordination or other more complex FCC hoops such as those for the BRS business two-way radio frequencies. Once someone in your family gets the GMRS two-way radio license, the rest of your family members are considered licensed in the eyes of the FCC.
Other Important Note: Employing Motorola Talkabout walkie-talkies for business use violates the terms of the manufacturer's warranty. This is because using these two-way radio for business puts a lot more strain on the radio than it was designed to handle. These walkie-talkies are made for family and recreational activities and not for the working conditions and heavy duty that business handheld radio use demands.
