[QUOTE="Tenntrapper, post: 5795358, member: 18110"] It should also be noted that they put out too much power to be legal on the frs band. Oh, and frs radios can't have a removable antenna...and these do. I doubt you would ever get caught, but if you do.... it could be expensive. That said, I've got a couple UV82s that I may have been known to use for that. If I'm going somewhere there is poor or no cell service, I take one along. Also carry an external twin lead antenna that can be hosted up in a tree for extended range. If anyone decides to get these, as mentioned above, do away with the "dummy load" they call an antenna and get a real one. I'm not familiar with the one listed above, but I've got Diamond brand antennas on mine. Makes a huge difference. Not quite as good as when I tie into the Diamond antenna I've got on a tower at home, but it does good enough. Oh yeah, and "Chirp" is the computer program that you can use to program them. [/QUOTE]
