Over priced on their website and high priced on Amazon. Appears Daystar are trying to follow Rugged Radios with their over priced Chinese radios. Check out Midland and BaofengTech/Btech for other mobile GMRS radios. There are a couple other radio manufacturers with mobile GMRS radios coming...

One FCC license does not work across the board. Each radio service is a different license so you would need to pay the FCC for a GMRS license or take a amateur radio test for an amateur radio license.

With VHF/UHF distance is more about antenna height and obstructions (earth curvature, buildings, trees, mountains, etc). You can talk to the International Space Station on 5 watts, so more power does not necessarily equal more distance. More power may help a signal get through vegetation which...
