Many companies make combination FRS GMRS radios, these are 20 some channel radios (FRS is 14) and usually have a HI/LO power setting as well (FRS might have hi/lo but it's hi is gmrs lo) they can have up to a five mile range under ideal conditions, sometimes farther. FRS is closer to 1-2
License is $75.00 if memory serves, you get it via www.fcc.gov and follow the links, I happen to be a registered user of that site which makes it a bit easier but not much, to get a license (Fewer web pages to jump through)
Licensing is a matter of filling out a application and attaching the payment so long as you don't have any counterindicators (Like a bad FCC history) no test required.
The fine for unlicensed use of GMRS radios is serious. I strongly recommend avoidance by getting licensed.
NOTE: Many folks at rallys and such may well have the radios.. I have the license I still have to train my wife in how to use the radios though... But that is another story
