    2-Way Radio Licenses: Do You Have To Get One ?

    Hey,
    Planning to buy a pair of 2-way radio's.
    I see that if you want more than a couple of miles range, you have to get a license for the GMRS frequency.
    Did all you folks (or someone you know ) get an FCC license ? Or not bother at all ?

    I wonder if it's like the UK TV License, where your name/address gets sent to "the authorities" when you buy Thanks.

    Not really. Like I said here http://tetongravity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39428
    I'll probably go to SportMart, as there's one near work

    from my research, amazon.com seems to have better deals. once in a while you'll find something 40-50% off.
