    Recommend me some family radios?

    The GMR30 also has the ability to use GMRS Repeaters, which the 22 channel GMRS blister pack radios do not. I regularly check into the Monday night 1900 hours net conducted via the High Potosi 462.625 GMRS repeater from my living room here in Pahrump, via a GMR30 with a super rubber duck...

    Also it appears the Bao Feng in your link is strictly a simplex radio, it will not communicate through GMRS repeaters.

    Recommend me some family radios?

    Bao Feng radios are considered by most hams to be disposable radios, with infrequent use they may last a year or two, but with everyday use, six months to a year is the average lifespan. There is no repair facility for them in the USA and everyone who has sent one back to China for repair has...

    Recommend me some family radios?

    You can use a simplex frequency with GMRS, no need to put in the repeater's frequency, PL tone, etc.. that's line of sight transmission. Programming in a GMRS repeater that is near you is easy, takes about 30 seconds. I can walk you through it over the phone, there are several GMRS repeaters...

    FRS limited to 2 watts, no repeaters, no license required. GMRS limited to 5 watts in hand helds, 50 watts in mobiles, license required, but can use GMRS repeaters. Some frequencies overlap, but GMRS radios, like the Radioddity GMR30 I mentioned, are smart enough that when you select a FRS...

    The Midland FRS radios are good, so are the Radioddity. Spend the $35, no test required, and get the GMRS license, you get the license, and the law allows your entire immediate family to use it under your call sign. FRS radios are limited to 2 watts, GMRS handhelds are limited to 5 watts, and...

    Never owned a Ford before

    Had a 69 Dodge Daytona Charger, 440 Magnum 6 Pack and automatic years ago, ran pretty well. Only owned it for a few months, someone came along and offered me many times what I had in it, so it went down the road.

    Never owned a Ford before

    My 89 F150 4x4 still going strong with 170K on the little 302 / 5.0 in it, so far, just tires, lube and oil filter, and the AC compressor once about 10 years ago.
