Recently the Federal Communications Commission allocated the Family Radio Service (FRS) a frequency band (462.5625 MHz to 467.7125 MHz) that provides up to two miles of talk range. Panasonic's KX-TR325S two-way FRS radio fills the bill to keep you in contact with family or friends. The KX-TR325S radio is ideal for all sorts of remote communication--between cars traveling in a group, from base camp to canoe--wherever you want to be able to talk to someone who is out of earshot for free. And with 14-channel operation, you can easily switch between different channels to get the clearest line of communication. Like a party line, other FRS users can overhear your conversations if they are operating using the same combination of channel and privacy code. But the KX-TR325S does provide 38 different privacy codes and a monitor function permits you to listen to or scan through transmissions on all channels and codes, regardless of privacy codes.
Sturdily designed with rubberized trim to absorb minor impacts, the KX-TR325S is safe to use in the rain, but don't take it swimming. Other features include five different ringer tones and an alternate vibrating mode for silent call alert. A multifunction backlit LCD screen displays the channel, privacy code, battery strength, key lock status, transmit, ring mode, and VOX mode. You can also connect an optional headset microphone, which will automatically activate the unit's voice operation mode.
The KX-TR325S is powered by external DC power input jack or 3 AA batteries (batteries not included) and holds up to 30 hours of standby battery life. Battery statistics are based upon usage of 5 percent receiving, 5 percent talking, and 90 percent standby.
