## Questions & Answers

**Q: Amateur radio compatible?**
A: No this only does BRS

**Q: Would this perform better than frms on a cruise ship?**
A: the kenwood has a better receiver than a typical FRS radio so it would work a bit better.
line of sight is everything at this frequency and power level. kenwoods use frequencies that are not available to the FRS/GMRS customers.

**Q: Can you recommend the best earpiece compatible with this radio?**
A: KHS-34.

**Q: Reviewer matt b mentioned that these can't be programmed in canada.  why not?  do you need a license for these in canada?**
A: I'm sorry, but we are not licensed to ship or support these to Canada. I imagine that Canada has the equivalent of the US's FCC. I would contact that agency for more information. Or, an authorized dealer within Canada (or an Amazon authorized reseller who is permitted to sell in Canada).
