Review on πŸ“» Get Connected: BAOFENG BF-888S Two-Way Radios - Double Pack by Maurice Strawther

Revainrating 5 out of 5

YES, you need a license to use it. Legal Notices

Ignore the other reviewer who said you can use them straight out without a license: they are 3 watt radios with a detachable antenna so you can get a FRS/GMRS Must purchase license ($70, for 10 years). It's easy online, so just do it and you're done. Then you have nothing to fear at all. Also, it's best to (re)program them with CHIRP so they're road legal in the US. Plus awesome (x10) radios for the price! Great range and ease of use. I take them on hikes and they work perfectly. A+

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Good but not great
