Personally I prefer Midland over Motorola.

The pieces on Overstock are refurbished, com in pairs and come in a plain brown box. They are also much cheaper than those on Costco.

The LXT420, GXT600, GXT635 and GXT650 have All Hazards Weather Radio - Automatic severe weather / hazard information 24/7

All radios use AA batteries or a charger and NiMH batteries can be purchased seperately.

the ranges provided are for perfect ideal conditions... wide open spaces, no electronic interference, no wind, no cloud cover. Realistly, you can probably get 1-5 miles in a city area. There is just way to much interference to make it work the stated range.

These are perfect for Raod trips with more than one car, or family trips to an amusement park, or just fun for the kids.

Yes, the FCC requires the user to obtain a license, but it is rarely enforced. However, if the user is found to be abusing the frequencies, you can be fined if you do not have a license.

In my experience you'll be lucky to get 1 mile range, never mind 5. In the woods the effective range is closer to about 1/2 mile max.

I wish I could remember where I saw it but there was an online article I read several months ago that had run some performance tests using consumer grade GMRS radios. In short the tests concluded that the quoted ranges were wildly optimistic when compared to the real world and that boosting input power past 2 watts had a minimal effect at extending the operating range.

As for licenses, they're only required in the US if you're using a GMRS-only frequency or if you're using a shared GMRS/FRS frequency at greater than 1/2 watt power. In addition, the requirements are such that if communication is ongoing between members of the 'immediate' family only 1 member of the 'immediate' family must posess the license...and the definition of what constitutes 'immediate' family is pretty vague.

I don't think the FCC is going to put much effort into enforcing strict compliance, and as long as you're not deliberately interfering with other people's usage or otherwise interfering with other radio equipment the odds of being harassed or proscecuted are very small. Certainly a LOT less than someone using marine VHF radios on land.

And now at 1 sale a day (I tried putting in the URL but it is verbotten) the 420 refurb is going for $15+$5 shipping - doesn't say if it includes batteries etc.
