We've just finished a multi-month, 4,000+ mi trip using these radios and were very happy with them. I have a complete review on my blog if you're interested in more details.

Good to know Techie. Most folks do not know a FCC license is required to use the GMRS channels, but the regular CB channels on them are open-source_ so to speak.

The license information is included in every radio box shipped. All that is required is to read the information in the box. The manual tells which channels are restricted by license.

The radio covers FRS and GMRS frequencies but not CB frequencies.

Thanks for adding the comments regarding licensing -- should have included it in my original information; I'll update my review shortly.
