There’s an exception to the 4 watts… single side band (SSB) models. Depending on antenna and other factors, range will vary from a mile or several with a handheld, to 10 miles, or up to 50 for a well setup base station. The FCC limits the maximum power a CB radio can transmit at 4 watts. However if I’m around a mountain, it’s not happening… I’ve also hit a GMRS repeater station 60 miles away!ĬB operation does not require a license. Mrs.J has communicated with me while almost 10 miles away. I have a base station at the house (with a high gain antenna) and a number of handheld 2-way radios.

The usual range of communications between FRS devices is less than one mile. It’s limited to 0.5 watt transmitting power. It’s an improved ‘walkie-talkie’ system and it does not require a license. The FCC has allotted specific frequency bands for 2-way family-type radios, and they transmit on various sets of frequencies labeled FRS, MURS, GMRS, and CB.
