we have the gmrs lisc also...most people never know that the little radios that 
you buy at walmart or wherever you purchase things at are 2 bands built into 1 
radio and that they are only allowed to talk on certain freq's

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.
