It covers "all" 14 FRS channels including what must be the original channels 1-7 (warning: a Radio Shack house brand started at channel 8!). The packaging tells of each channel having 99 "codes", without explaining what the codes are for. None of the models referred to the sets having "privacy" codes, but the T6500R seems to be a current model so I hope it will be all right. Trusting that you got a recharger alobng with the radios and batteries, you are fine. (And if not, the radios use, and get longer life, on 3 AA alkaline batteries.) Just set to channel 4, then code 5 -- the instruction manual will tell you how, or plenty of people can show you.
