I'm looking for a quality set of 2-way handheld radios (walkie talkie style) mostly for camping, nature walks, etc. Most often I'd probably hand one radio to one of my older kids when they want to go out exploring, and keep the other radio in the house or RV.
I ran across this pair of BaoFeng BF-888S on Amazon, highly rated and labeled as "Amazon's Choice" in the walkie talkie category. However several reviews/questions/answers mention that these operate on radio frequencies that require a Ham license... and then others claim there is no problems with using them and/or they can be programmed to be used on "safe" frequencies.
Can anyone with knowledge of these issues advise? And/or recommend a good set of 2-way radios that won't break the bank?
