Here are some links to FRS radios that you can buy on Amazon.
If you are going to be in a Caravan this will be very useful for you.
They'll probably come in handy on our tour around Lake Tahoe, and any other drive we do as a group!
The ones listed below are way more powerful than the ones I've used in the past. I'm probably going to order the first set myself!
Uniden GMR1038-2CK 22-Channel 10-Mile Two-Way Radios (Pair) $29.99 (FREE Super Saver Shipping)
Motorola T5500R GMRS / FRS Rechargeable 8-Mile Two-Way Radio (2 Pack, Blue) $49.99 (FREE Super Saver Shipping)
Uniden 14-Mile 22-Channel 2-Way Radios with Dual Charger $29.99
Uniden GMR1038-2 22-Channel 10-Mile Two-Way Radios (Pair) $19.99
Uniden 20-Mile 22-Channel 2-Way Radios with Voice Scramble and NOAA Alerts $52.67

I just ordered the Uniden GMR1038 2pack for $29.99 shipped free!
The reviews were good, and sounds like a good product.
However, I did not know this until reading the review (prior to ordering) that to use the GMRS radio feature you have to have a license. The GMRS feature is how you get up to 10-miles. You can get up to 4 on FRS.
Anyone own a GMRS license?

Yes Adam, you can go on line and apply. A lot of people do not get a license? I did, it's a 5 year license and I don't know if I will renew?

I don't mean to sound like I'm advocating operating the radio illegally, but who's really checking and how could they locate you?

Also, how do the different bands work... is it a certain number of channels for FRS and another set of channels for GMRS, or is it a "mode"? I guess I'll find out when I get mine and read the manual.

There are so many out there, how would they get you? I only use it a couple of times..They sell up here at Costco like hotcakes during fishing season and I know not everybody gets a license..

You need a license for a CB radio also, but who has one?

The FCC has specialized equipment used to locate illegal radio transmissions including those from Ham, FRS, CB, Marine and aircraft. They are able to hone in within a few meters and determine whether the operator has a legal certificate to operate. The illegal operator is then terminated via a Republican high frequency laser/led beam and reduced to ash immediately. I will now return you to you're regularly scheduled station and go back on my meds now. Dang it that frame-off is killing me.

I think everyone should be on channel 3 , C3, get it. CB or FMR, channel 3.
Everyone should remember that one.
