FRS radios aren’t all created equal. Some blister-pack sets are cheap toys that break in a weekend, while others are solid enough to trust on family trips or in an emergency.

In this third episode of the FRS Mini-Series, Caleb Nelson (K4CDN) takes a practical look at the gear:

What really matters in an FRS radio (durability, batteries, usability)
Why you shouldn’t believe the “35-mile range” marketing
The difference between throwaway blister packs and quality FRS options
Caleb’s go-to pick for a reliable family radio

This isn’t about buying the most expensive radio on the shelf — it’s about choosing gear that works when your family needs it.

And with September being National Preparedness Month, there’s no better time to make sure your radios are ready.
