The low end aren’t super expensive.  I don’t know the details of the licensing, but I think if they were using them in a group with you, only you would need to be licensed.

That is my proposed use case, although I have not yet implemented it (GMRS) .. To have a radio with which to communicate with my grandchildren a couple of miles away.

No licensing test, so we can each get a license and then I can get them a radio and have a radio here at home. I think that might be fun and maybe interest them in future radio development and moving forward to other projects like ham radio balloon tracking or tracking satellite beacons, etc.

Maybe I'll try to do this for Christmas?

Good question. I bought one thinking that it might be something like VHF/UHF but there's nobody on that I can find. Repeaters near me (Tewksbury) are not to be found. There's one in Wilmington but never heard anything there. If you have a group of people and all have GMRS, that would be useful - but so would CB.

Looking at the specs for GMRS radios, it seems like it's a fancier version of FRS with a little more power, ability to use repeaters and need to get a license without any tests involved. For what purpose do people use these radios?
