There are TWO types of radios that are in the same frequency range. FRS and
a higher powered version that uses a "send in the paper" license.
I have never used the high powered version but have looked at info on the
internet.
It appears that there are additional channels that can be used by the high
powered radios (with the 5 mile range) but the radios can lower their power
and also use the full set of FRS channels.
