I'm not sure I follow. The model you linked is an FRS/GMRS two-way radio (aka walkie talkie), a perfect example of what I described (it's all right there in the product title). I think we're still talking about the same thing, although I did mislabel it as 'commerical' when I meant 'consumer' radio :)
Agreed, they're great.

- harlanlewis 11y agoRight. Same page. Although as I understand it, consumer FRS/GMRS two-way radios like the one you linked only require a license for the GMRS channels. Also, it looks like the GMRS 5-year license cost has effectively dropped from $90 to $65 by eliminating a $5/year fee: http://www.buytwowayradios.com/blog/2015/05/fcc_eliminates_gmrs_regulatory_fee.aspx http://www.buytwowayradios.com/blog/2015/05/fcc_eliminates_g...
