Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How long does the rechargeable battery last?

A: I typically get one day out of it, but it will depend on how heavy your usage is. Also, the included charger isn't a smart charger, so the longevity of the included batteries may not be exceptional. I mostly use the radios with eneloop or fujitsu AA rechargeable batteries (both are great), and the eneloop smart charger that comes in a set with batteries.

A: FRS/GMRS radios such as the GXT 1000 operate in the UHF band around 462 MHz and 467 MHz. Unfortunately these frequencies are not legal for use in India.
