Your RadioShack 5W Compact GMRS
Handheld Transceiver is a portable,

systems in the area operating on the
same frequency.

— automatically adjusts for a wide
range of voice levels to ensure an
effective transmission.
High/Low Power — saves power by
choosing a suitable transmitting power
for different ranges.

Connector — provides excellent
reception and is easy to attach and
remove, so you can use an external
antenna to extend the range and
performance.
