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.</div>

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.</div>

<div>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.<br>
