>>Was going to pick these up for a friend of mine to stay up with her daughter when she was playing outside, but then I see that it requires an FCC license. Why? Are they all like this? It's only $40 bucks with a 5-mile range. What would you need a license for?

>CB Radios used to "require" a license too, but no one purchased them so they dropped the requirement. I've got a pair of rechargeable radios we used at night so our officers could talk to each other on warrant attempts. We could also hear the gangsters talking on them too. I use these same radios when hunting. I don't have a license, nor do I intend to give the government any money to squander in this regard. Buy the radios and worry not!

Ahhh... It's not like they can control whether you use it or not, just want to try and get revenue for using the airwaves. Cool, thanks!
