I have never had any luck using FRS radios. Things have very poor range.
And I am talking about the FRS radios you can buy that only do FRS.
Pretty worthless in my book. Anyone else have any luck with FRS radios?
I have moved on to GoTennaMESH they work way way better.

§95.335 Operation of non-certified transmitters prohibited.

GMRS and FRS regulations have changed, but unlicensed FRS does not
permit any radio that has a removable antenna. Also radios have to be
certified under FCC Part 95. UV-5R isn't on the list, and FCC is
planning on banning the import of any radio capable of being used on a
frequency that the unit is not licensed for. That is if it isn't an
amateur radio, in the future any radio imported will only be able to
be used on amateur radio frequencies.
Also in the near future, radios will not be legally allowed to be
manufactured, imported , or sold that can be used on BOTH GMRS and
FRS. This is going to cause a problem for licensed amateur radio
operators who own such radios, like I do:
§95.1791 Sales of GMRS/FRS combination radios prohibited.
(a) Effective September 30, 2019, no person shall be permitted to
manufacture or import, sell or offer for sale any radio equipment
capable of operating under both this subpart (GMRS) and subpart B
(FRS) of this chapter.
FRS allows 2 watts or less on channels 1 – 7 and the previously GMRS
only channels of 15 – 22, but only 0.5 watts on channels 8 – 14.
GMRS licensees can use up to 50 watts, but there are somewhat
complicated restrictions and an FCC 10 year renewable license (good
for entire family) is needed. GMRS licensees can also operate on 8
additional repeater frequencies.
The regulations for GMRS are quite complicated.

I think the past practice of this group not to provide such
information to unlicensed persons is a wise one.

Let's not play police here.
I do believe that the FCC has allowed some of the FRS frequencies,
now up to 2 watts.
To answer the question, make sure the same frequencies are in the
column next to the receive column.
I don't recall if they are labeled RX and TX or what.

Using your UV-5R on FRS frequencies will be a violation of Federal
Law. That radio is not, nor can not be, type accepted for that
service.

I can hear the FRS radios on their respective channels, I
cannot transmit on those respective channels. How can I enable
the transmit on chirp?
Thanks, in advance.
