The license is only 75or 80 dollars for 5 years for either a household or
family (don't remember what the wording was). That's only $15-$19 per year, if
it provides you and Elaine peace of mind while she's in the car and you are
trapsing through the woods than that's a small price to pay for the comfort
factor. I know John and I both spend more than that on much sillier stuff.

Ok. Maybe I am interested in GMRS because
of its range and have to purchase a license.
Even reading an FAQ about the difference
between GMRS and FRS, I'm not sure I've
made up my mind.
I used a CD radio during the mid 1970s
(10-4, good buddy, what's your 20?). I
realize they operate in a similar manner
in the same frequency range. A GMRS
raio is allowed to push more wattage than an
FRS radio, thus the license regulation.
I still have some reading to do on it.

What is the latest and greatest, moderately
priced GMRS/FRS radio? I need to buy
a couple, so Elaine knows where I am when
I'm hunting a cache in the woods and she is
sitting in the truck with the A/C running.
I'm interested in the longest range without
requiring a license to operate. Not interested
in the ones that are melded with a GPSr unit.
