The Personal Radio Services are limited radio spectrum resources set aside by the United States government for use by the general public as licensed and unlicensed radio services. The PRA is a mutual-interest organization of Federal Communications Commission licensees of the licensed General Mobile Radio Service and interested persons using the radio services licensed by rule, the Multi-Use Radio Service, and the Citizens Radio Service. The PRA's mission is to fairly and accurately represent its member's interests in these radio services before government agencies, the various representatives of the radio industry, private or public organizations, and the public-at-large in order to protect and preserve the growth, regulation, and continued usability and effectiveness of each radio service.
