      Don't forget the FCC license you'll need to go with these.

      # 3, Ham radio went out in the 80's when they started giving away the license by providing the questions and answers to the test. The technology has been obsolete for 20 years due to the internet.

      As for a license with these, don't bother. The FCC is so understaffed they will never even know.

      Great solution to a teenager insisting they need a cell phone to call home.

      #4 if your radios can talk up to 10 miles

      I 'll let your sleep with # 1's sister.

      I am willing to bet you can get 1 or 2 miles line of sight.

      #7 yea because both of those radios suc***K

      I used to get better results with two dixie cups and a 25 ft piece of string.
