Do I need a license to use these radios?

No license is needed on the FRS channels, which is how most buyers use them. GMRS channels require an FCC license, and these radios do not support repeaters.

Is the 28-mile range realistic?

No. That figure assumes ideal open line-of-sight. Expect roughly half a mile to two miles in woods, neighborhoods or buildings.

They are water-resistant, not waterproof. They handle rain and splashes but should not be submerged.

How many radios come in the box?

This is a two-pack, so you get two radios plus belt clips and a charging setup for both.

Can they pick up weather alerts?

Yes. They scan NOAA weather channels and can sound an alert for severe weather warnings in your area.

Do they work with other FRS or GMRS radios?

Yes, on matching channels and privacy codes, so they can talk to most other FRS/GMRS handhelds.
