Homestead Corner is an influential YouTuber with more than 70k subscribers on her YouTube channel. And all her videos are all about her simple and easy preparedness and self-reliance tips. And these days, the family-friendly radio RB28B meets her needs and I think it can give you inspiration.
Let’s review her video now
Jinne said this is a portable and simple radio for everyone, and you can talk to your families if you have to go out and far away from your house. She played how to operate it and the real test of the communication range and quality. So, she recommends this radio for homesteaders.
And in the comments area, many viewers think it is useful for communication with their daughters, parents, sisters, and other families. Besides, the communication range is the most important question for them. According to Jinne’s test, the communication range is about 1 mile. It’s not enough for further communication.
Yes, it is the shortage of FRS license-free radios, not only on the family-friendly radio RB28B. FCC requires that the license-free radio can only work on the FRS frequency band, and the highest power is 2W. So, depending on the power, the communication range is no longer than licensed radios like GMRS radios, ham radios, and some commercial radios.
GMRS license is easy and cheap to have. And the high power is 5W, so the communication range should be 2 miles in an open area. But it can connect to a GMRS car radio or repeater for further calls. So, if you want to communicate within 3-4 miles, GMRS is suitable for you. What’s more, if you want to communicate with your families, you can only apply for ONE GMRS license, and all of your families can operate the GMRS radios in law. So, why not have some GMRS radios for your families?
