Hello! I don't know if this is the right topic to put this in, but here we go anyway.
I am looking basically for a walkie-talkie. I want something that won't require a license to use and won't be illegal to use. Not anything too expensive (under $100) and comes with 3-4 units that can communicate with each other at once. I don't need anything with a huge range, but just something that covers less than 5 miles. I would use it in a wooded area mostly (I live in MA in the middle of the woods lol). I just need some suggestions from all of you guys on recommended walkies that would fit my criteria.
Thanks! -Vincent
Ok, to be 100% legal what you're asking is not possible unless you win the lotto by finding a set of MURS radios at a failed business liquidation auction.
This is because your options are only UHF FRS which is only 500mw (half a watt) and VHF-HI MURS at 2-watts and HF AM CB at 4-watts.
The FRS option meets your price needs but not your distance needs.
The MURS option meets your distance needs but not your price needs.
The CB option is a gamble.
If going with the FRS option I would get these: Two 16 Mile/22 Channel FRS/GMRS Radios with AC Adapter - Two-Way Radios at Uniden Simple and rechargeable and no tempting illegal wattage available, just don't use channels 15-22.
If going with MURS I would get these Motorola RMM2050 On-Site 2-Way Radio (Single) RMM2050 B&H Photo Wonderful build quality, MIL spec.
CB might be a good balance between price and range depending on pirates and interference in your area.
