Be careful... The FCC states that Government use of Family band radios is prohibited. Some homework may be in order. Found this at my last job (USAF).

Originally posted by ke4gdeGMRS can have a max range of up to 14miles. What is more important though is that to use GMRS you need a license from the FCC. The following link gives more info: Clicky
Just remember that to talk on the air, without proper license, can result in violation of Federal Law. Just a heads up
Thank you for adding that i did forget that part i know that it is easy to get the license it is a money deal u apply pay the money they give u a license all about uncle same making a buck lol

Guest repliedYes,Motorola are good radios.During my travel in Turkey this year,me and my friend used them while we were driving our cars.It was a long trip from Romania to Turkey(about 1200 km).The range is about 1,2 miles(2-3 km) and need to be rechargeble every 24 hrs of using.I recomend Motorola with rechargeble bateries with plug in cables or with rechargeble stand.Last edited by Ptache; 10-18-2005, 12:19 PM.

I use them on my paintball team. GOOD radios. FM is way better quality sound than the AM CBs ever were. They have a pretty good battery life and have a LOT of accessories.

I'm thinking of getting a pair or two for Explorers, but if they don't have a decent range its not worth it.

Originally posted by CarCopThey are decent little radios. The motorola's as many of the other brands. have about a 2 mile range. They genrally have 14 channels. Open/Public channels (CB channels). For things like family outings they work good. We have even used them at work for special operations when you don't want to get on the LE radio. NOt sure how your plannning on using them but they are simple and work well.
FYI, if your going to be looking, check Sam's club or Costco. Here they almost always have the two pack with recharger and clips for a lot less than buying at an "electronics store".
