So Many Radios. This Is the One in My Kids' Hands.
- One for everyone. Mom, Dad and every kid can carry their own, and there is a spare for the truck.

- Nothing to set up. I load the channels before it ships. You charge it and talk.
I'm Caleb Nelson, K4CDN. I Set Up Every Pair Myself.
I have been a licensed ham for well over 15 years, and since 2014 I have made radio content for families and hobbyists with well over 1 million downloads. I created the Family Connect System to keep families connected when the phones stop working. These radios are the hardware that goes with it.

Questions
Within 7 days of your order. I order the radios after you buy, program them, and send them out.
You pick a first and second choice. The color I send depends on what is in stock when your order comes in.
A new radio has to be loaded with channels and settings before it is useful. I do that part for you, based on how you plan to use it, so you do not have to learn the software.
Licensing depends on the frequencies you use. Amateur bands require an amateur license, and GMRS requires a GMRS license. You are responsible for following FCC rules for your use. Every order includes my GMRS License Express guide, which walks you through getting your GMRS license. It is emailed to you as soon as you buy.
The radios are the easy part. If you want a written plan your whole family can follow, see the Family Connect System at familyconnectsystem.com/more.
These radios are not FCC type-certified for GMRS, FRS or MURS. You are responsible for following FCC rules on licensing and equipment authorization where you use them. All sales are final once your radios have been programmed. Questions: reply to your order email.
