For those unfamiliar with FRS and GMRS radios, Best Buy has a very =
good FAQ page on them:

price:=20
GMRS radios cost the same to purchase, but using that "power booster" =
button on your $50 radio requires sending the government $75 for a =
license. Of course, getting a dual FRS/GRMS radio and NOT using high =
power is always an option...
