FRS, GMRS, EXRS, CB Walkie Talkies



THESE 3 NEW RADIOS WERE TESTED UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS

From left to right,  Lafayette Dyna-com 40, 5 watts 40 Channel CB, Midland GTX 500, 5 Watts 22 Channel with 38 subcodes FRS-GMRS. TriSquare TXS 300 ten billion channels eXRS*.

First, if you are using 5 Watts,  it eats batteries, this has been long known with CBers with portables for a long time with only Ni-cads available.




Companies are advertising long distances?

Range = Less than a Mile,  unless straight line of sight, or over water. Who is kidding who?

 Remember all Walkie Talkies perform better at IDEAL conditions, which is straight line of sight or over water and that's with the Walkie Talkies OUTSIDE, not in a Car, Boat etc.


 The Famous LRE Dyna-Com 40 CB at 5 Watts under good conditions held up on it's own against any of the UHF radios. The GMRS by Midland has 5 Watts with a Hi-Lo power and is only 1/2 watt on the FRS channels anyway. The eXRS outdoes the GMRS with 1 watt

Midland, Cobra and Motorola has a SCAM going on with their Radios. The GTX 500 was the first 5 Watt GMRS Portable at 14 Mile Range. Now these companies are claiming 12, 18, 20, 22, 25, 26, 27, 28 and even 30 Miles?


Five watts is the legal CB, GMRS maximun and 1/2 watt with FRS. However, the companies keep changing the exterior and upping the distances???


*eXRS™ Technology


eXtreme Radio Service (eXRS) two-way radios use proprietary Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) in the ISM band (900 MHz frequencies). This FHSS system combines the power of digital technology with narrow band FM modulation technique. Merging the two technologies facilitates a radio communications system that maintains a narrow band base signal to ensure for maximum usable range within a given dB power budget, comparable to traditional fixed frequency narrow band FM radios, but with the added benefit of wide band digital security and privacy provided by the frequency hopping spread spectrum algorithm. Maintaining the information signal as narrow band FM modulation centered on discrete frequencies allows for a large pool of non-overlapping hopping frequencies to draw upon within a given section of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum. The pseudo-random drawing of the hopping frequencies spreads the total signal power equally over the entire bandwidth of the RF spectrum used, which ensures minimal interference between many simultaneous, independent users.

Interference Free is a major advantage that eXRS has over existing FRS and GMRS radios. Based on a contracted study from the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of a major university, more than 100,000 eXRS users within talk range can enjoy uninterrupted communications. Whereas, FRS/GMRS quickly becomes unusable with just a few tens of users within range of each other. Bottom-line is that the eXRS two-way radios provide private communications in areas where FRS/GMRS conversations can be congested or impossible.

Under the same environmental conditions and regardless of power, the TriSquare eXRS radios usable talk range will be equal to or greater than that of other portable UHF two-way radios in most cases. Coverage within steel and concrete structures should be better with eXRS radios. Multiple independent tests indicate that the eXRS products always exceeded the performance of the FRS/GMRS products advertising the longest ranges.

eXRS radios are free from any Federal Communications Commission (FCC) user licenses, can be used at any age and for any purpose (personal or business), unlike GMRS radios.
