- Do I need a license to use the RB48?
- No. It operates on FRS channels, which are license-free in the US. You can use it out of the box.
- How far will these walkie talkies reach?
- Expect roughly a mile or two in open country and much less inside buildings or dense woods. FRS power limits range, so treat the claimed maximum as ideal-condition only.
- How does voice activation work?
- When VOX is on, the radio transmits automatically when it picks up your voice, so you can talk without pressing the button. Speak clearly and pause briefly before talking so the first word is not cut off.
- Are they waterproof?
- They are water-resistant, not submersible. They handle rain and splashes, but do not dunk them or leave them in standing water.
- Can I use them with other FRS radios?
- Yes. Any FRS radio set to the same channel and privacy code can talk to the RB48. That makes them easy to mix with other FRS pairs you already own.
- What comes in the box?
- You get two radios with their antennas and belt clips, plus charging or battery accessories for both. Check the listing for the exact battery type included.
