I have no idea where you all get your walkie talkies from but, we have a couple of small Motorola versions on the farm. We picked them up at Radio Shack or, maybe it was wall mart. Anyway, there is no license required and they have the range of about a mile. If your backing up from a mile away you are doing something wrong.
yep the weaker ones don't need a license. the more powerful ones that get the upper channels do, in theory. but since the FCC or whoever is busy being occupied with listening to our phone conversations, they probably won't nail you.

In the days before cell phones we used to have great big walkie talkies on the farm. About the size of a brick and they weighed that much too. They were trunked through a repeating tower somewhere and they worked all over south west MN. We didn't have a license for them either. When we purchased the service they didn't say anything to us about needing one. :h
