Interesting to compare the march of time because a couple of years ago
I picked up a Pye Ranger, a valve PMR, dated 1969, and the microphone alone
is bigger than those Baofeng jobbies.
And this event was licensed HOW?

These little beauties as you put it, are not compatible with GMRS or LMRS rules - Part 90.
They have a detachable antenna and they put out more than one half of one watt - so they are not legal for FRS.
I'm not sure of all the rules in MURS - but I would venture to say that they are not suitable for it either.

It's the morons that wants cheap communications that ruins two way radio for the rest of us!
