Continuous one-way transmissions on FRS frequencies are prohibited by 95.193 (FRS Rule 3, "Types of Communications"). He's also in violation of 95.194 (FRS rule 4, "FRS Units") if he has attached any type of external power supply or any kind of external antenna to an FRS walkie talkie, is using any type of radio other than an FCC-certified FRS radio, or made any modification to the radio to enable continuous transmission instead of push-to-talk.
