I am looking into the GMRS radios for my family. What units would anyone
recommend? Are there any test reviews available.

As an FYI, when they say "UP TO 5 miles", here in the real world,
think "UP TO TWO miles if everything goes right".

Also, stick with brands you have heard of, less like to create
headaches. Pricing on identical items can vary greatly, so shop
around.

And don't forget... the GMRS license itself costs as much as two or three of
the radios ($75).... : |
