Granted, a No-Code Novice (if it existed)

Still tougher than a CB license (if they still did those).... ;-)

And cheaper than a GMRS license

Just a side note - I was shopping at Sam's club yesterday and they had some
small Motorola HTs. 5 watt output with a number of channels (it advertised
that some of these channels were FRS channels). I read both sides of that
bubble packed pair of radios (they were packaged as pairs, plus a recharger)
and nowhere could I find the mention of the necessity of a license. At 5
watts and capability of a number of other channels, the user should (but, of
course, won't) obtain a GMRS license. All they know is that FRS radios are
often advertised as 1 or 2 miles range - and this one is advertised as a 5
mile range. More talk power. As long as some companies make money, I guess
this is a very minor point.
