Oops . . . that's but one of the hazards for assuming
one's vernacular is universally understood! GMRS, FRS
and a few other handy acronyms are used to describe a variety
of license free or easy license use of the radio spectrum for
personal communications. A whole line of radios have been
developed to address this service not the least of which may
be seen at:
http://www.radioshack.com/search/index.jsp?kwCatId=&kw=gmrs&origkw=gmrs
I've used these radios for a number of voice communications
tasks (Just bought a set on sale at RS for $20 marked down from
$59). I've also been able to use them as short haul radio
telemetry links. It just occurred to me that one might also use
a pair to cobble up a voice-link back to your airplane from
a remotely located VHF Comm receiver as described in the earlier
post.
For the money, they're pretty good value and can be useful
in a lot of ways that are not immediately obvious. Only
caveat is to be aware that everyone from the construction
site down the block to the neighbor's kids may have a radio
that can easily receive and/or interfere with your
own mission. I've not been greatly plagued with this
shortcoming.

Very cool info. I wasn't aware of those radios. I ordered a pair as soon as I saw your posting. Thanks.

GMRS is not license free. It's $75 for 5 years if you use those frequencies.

One comment on these radios, take the advertised range and cut it in half at best.

Who do you pay the fee to and how do they know if you are still transmitting and not paying the fee?

check fcc.gov.
If a business complains to the FCC then the freq police are obligated to investigate. If they find you they fine you or jail you.
