...Yep... at that price they'd probably go fairly fast. They're not bad
little radios for "personal" or "family" use and have about a 2 mile range
under ideal conditions (expect up to a mile). The radios use "intersitial"
frequencies on the business band (450Mc)... frequencies between presently
assigned channels.  The Family Radio Service gear is strictly limited in
power and only simplex operation is allowed.  (mode: FM)
