One word of warning: if you don't have the license don't use the higher power channels. If you get caught the fine is $10,000 for each use. The FCC does enforce this.
lets see, using them for about 5 minutes for instructions at assorted campgrounds around the country. you have better odds winning the mega bucks lottery than being caught by the FCC. I would guess that the only enforcement that the FCC does is on commercial/large users who grossly violate the law. If they are staffed sufficiently to catch a RVer backing into a spot, they should be investigated for being overstaffed/overpaid.

I agree with the point above, but the instructions tha came with mine stated that you could not use channels 1 - 7 for some reason I don't remember - maybe it's the reason SeattleLion is talking about. No biggie, I use 8. Although I'm sure these cheap cobra walkie talkies don't have the power to transmit very far.
