  § 95.531   Permissible FRS uses.

   FRS units are primarily used for short-distance two-way voice
   communications between individuals.

   (a) Digital data. In addition to voice conversations, FRS units may
   transmit digital data containing location information, or requesting
   location information from one or more other FRS or GMRS units, or
   containing a brief text message to another specific GMRS or FRS unit.
   Digital data transmissions must be initiated by a manual action of the
   operator, except that a FRS unit receiving an interrogation request may
   automatically respond with its location. See also § 95.587(c).

   (b) One-way communications. FRS units may be used for one-way
   communications that are emergency messages, traveler assistance
   communications, voice pages or brief equipment tests.

   (c) GMRS stations. FRS units normally communicate with other FRS units,
   but may also be used to communicate with General Mobile Radio Service
   (GMRS) stations.
