I was in a Walmart, last night. Noticing how
the staff (at least some of them) have walkie
talkies (more correctly called handy talkies).
Are these FRS band like are sold to everyone,
or are they on a private channel? I sat in the
parking lot and scanned on my FRS, but was not
able to hear any store radio traffic.

I had a look on www.fcc.gov but did not find
that information.

The Baofeng UV-5R will receive out of band. Transmitting, of course, is not
allowed. MIRS was commercial but has been open to the public and is license
free.

communication/

has a comparison to FRS/GMRS/CB.

If I remember correctly, they use one por more of the "colored dot" (VHF) itinerent frequencies.

Not pertinent to your question, but I thought handy talkie (or handie
talkie) was a Motorola thing. HT (handheld transceiver) is the
generic name.

The implants work on a Borg subspace channel.

Does this have anything to do with home repair?

Sorry to hear it. I suspect that Jesus would not shop in a giant megastore which pays its employees so little that they have to go on food stamps to feed their families. Who pays for food stamps? You and I and all taxpayers. So we are subsidizing the Waltons' life style.

Aside from Costco that pays a decent wage, where would you shop and how
much do they pay? Most other retailers pay poorly also.

They are a handy tool when checking what circuits are on what breaker.
Getting the antenna on the roof to give the best picture.

Sigh. You're so right. It sure ought to have OT
in the subject line. Oh, wait! It does!

You display a Freudian case of profit envy. I'd like
you to go to an economic psychiatrist, and see if you
can be treated for profit envy.

Does this have any thing to do with home repair?

I used to use FRS when installing furnace.
Sure was nice to talk to the man on the
roof, or talk from cellar to the work van
at the driveway.

I put one under a dog's collar and fooled Goober into thinking he had a talking dog.

Don't read this story about Walmart, Stormie. Might make you mad enough to get back to the teachings of the real Jesus.
