And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Ghostsniper, I own an older pair of Motorola's and can vouch for their less than stellar performance unless in clear line of sight situations. Out on the rivers in the woods is where their shortcomings really come into focus.
These are FRS - per the FCC: Family Radio Service (FRS) is a private, two-way, short-distance voice and data communications service for facilitating family and group activities. The most common use for FRS channels is short-distance, two-way voice communications using small hand-held radios that are similar to walkie-talkies.
FRS doesn't require an explicit license.
These also seem to do GMRS - again from the FCC: General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) is a licensed radio service that uses channels around 462 MHz and 467 MHz. The most common use of GMRS channels is for short-distance, two-way voice communications using hand-held radios, mobile radios and repeater systems.
GMRS requires a license, said to be about $90.
The particular model has vexed some owners over changing batteries.
