	Family Radio Service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This personal radio service uses frequencies in the UHF band, and so does not suffer the interference effects found on Citizens Band (CB) at 27 MHz, or the 49 MHz band also used by cordless phones, toys, and baby monitors.
		FRS radios are limited to 500 milliwatts in the U.S., according to FCC regulations.
		Since tourists often bring their FRS radios with them, and since trade between the US, Canada, and Mexico is of great value to all three countries, the Mexican Federal Telecommunications Commission has authorized use of the FRS frequencies and equipment similar to that in the US.

	General Mobile Radio Service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) is a land-mobile UHF radio service in the United States available for short-distance two-way communications to facilitate the activities of an adult individual and his or her immediate family members, including a spouse, children, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, and in-laws (47 CFR 95.179).
		GMRS radios are typically handheld portable devices much like Family Radio Service (FRS) radios, and share some frequencies.
		Mobile and base station-style radios are available as well, but these are normally commercial UHF radios often used in the public service and commercial land mobile bands.

	Mexico's Family Radio Service (FRS) equivalent
		Family Radio Service (FRS) as a license-free, low-power UHF FM two-way radio service.
		It was done in part to legalize this service, since FRS radios were entering Mexico from the USA and being used without regard for Mexican radio regulations.
		Again, radios that may be legal in other countries, and operate on the license-free channels in Mexico, could still be considered illegal.

		Radio Shack says it will have a $149 FRS unit by summer that looks something like a cellular flip phone and is held up to the ear, preventing bystanders from inadvertent eavesdropping.
		Radio Shack's current catalog says its 500 milliwatt $179 model, the same transmission power as most hand-held cell phones, has a range of ``up to several miles,'' and the company claims range should be only slightly less for the 300 milliwatt units I borrowed.
