Sec. 95.193 (FRS Rule 3) Types of communications.
(a) You may use an FRS unit to conduct two-way voice communications
with another person. You may use the FRS unit to transmit one-way
communications only to establish communications with another person,
send an emergency message, provide traveler assistance, make a voice

(b) The FRS unit may transmit tones to make contact or to continue
communications with a particular FRS unit. If the tone is audible (more

the tone is subaudible (300 Hertz or less), it may be transmitted
continuously only while you are talking.
(c) You must not use an FRS unit in connection with any activity
which is against federal, state or local law.
(d) You must, at all times and on all channels, give priority to
emergency communication messages concerning the immediate safety of life
or the immediate protection of property.
(e) No FRS unit may be interconnected to the public switched
