Hello,

I've been interested for quite some time for a friend and I to get a
pair of GMRS radios - we have a pair of FRS radios, but we'd like to be
able to talk over a slightly longer distance and maybe not have so many
idiots on it lol.

I know we'd have to have a license, and I've read that it's no-test -
but how would I keep from throwing junk into the amateur GMRS repeaters
around here? I certainly wouldn't want to jam them up or anything, I
have a lot of respect - I like to use a scanner and listen to ham radio
sometimes, and hope maybe someday to get into it...

Anyways, I'd appreciate any help I can get. I was looking at a nice
3-watt pair of Cobras (Model: PR4300-2 WX VP) - any good?

Thank you in advance,
Jeff
