Yea, says you need an FCC license for them... but when I bought mine it was only if you used certian channels. Other channels you didn't need a license for.

I used the other channels anyway and didn't have any problems.

Actually, Dicks has a set on sale for $50 and they have a $15 mail in rebate, thus making them $35.

But these are the 7 mile range ones :rick:

:edit:
They retail for over $130, and they have the lithium battery kit with them.

so, if we all have Motorola Talkabouts, we'll all be able to communicate with eachother? for sure? as long as we're on the same channel?

yes, any motorola radio, and pretty much any CB radio if they have the security codes the same.
