FRS only channels are set to low power and cannot be changed as to comply with FCC Part 95 regulation. Setting transmit power to low helps to conserve battery life while operating on DC power. The range is comparable to the standard bubble pack two-way walkie-talkie. It does not have extraordinary range, however, it is comparable for a unit with attached antenna. The optional attachable microphone also serves as a mini handheld speaker. I didn't like the fact that when attached, all speaker audio ceased coming from the base unit and only emitted from the handheld speaker/microphone. I would prefer it was more like a traditional transceiver whereas the handheld button mic was a mic only and sound continued to emanate from the base unit. By cutting the speaker plug from the connector the hand attachment becomes a mic only. However, this is a modification that would void your warranty. # Ability to switch sound from mic back to base unit while mic is attached
