GMRS used to have 2 different licenses-one with a max of 5 watts, and one
with a limit of 50 watts.

After I posted that message, I found that you can use 50 watts on some
frequencies. I know that on the frequencies that are shared with FRS, there's a
5 watt limit. On the other, exclusively GMRS frequencies, it's 50 watts. I've
applied for a GMRS license as this would probably be a good way to keep in
touch with my wife without having to bother with the cell phone. Now I've gotta
find a decent base or mobile unit.
