The 0.5 watt FMRS is loaded with kids saying hello, hello, hello,la la la, shrieking, making rude sounds and walking over other radio traffic. Playing rap music on a channel is a popular dirty trick too. I have put a few of the little pricks off their fun by just hitting the alert tone when every time they try another la la la session. Eventually they give up. For other fun they often dial 911 at a pay phone and run away laughing or cause some other trouble instead. Going to the 5.0 watt GMRS radio system keeps some of the riff-raff off the air as the systems cost a few bucks more than the children's toys fmrs has become. The GMRS power can be backed off to 0.5 or 1.0W to avoid high battery consumption and walking over other users miles away. Odds are that ear with the ear-bud crammed into it and having the volume tuned up enough to be heard over tractors. Will be at the very least, ringing after a few hours and hearing damage possible. A one ear headset & boom mike works well when used with a ear plug in the headset side with the volume cranked up. Even GMRS is not expensive now. FMRS when 1st introduced were $249.99 per radio. Now they are a two radio package with charger for $49.99. Even my Rino 530 which does FMRS,GMRS & GPS with a colour screen costs little more than a early FMRS radio. Try to find a radio that uses ordinary AAA or AA batteries. Those propriety ni-cad packs that only fit one manufactures radio & charger are an expensive and usually discharged mistake. At least with AA or AAA batteries any old common alkaline or ni-cad can be used in a pinch.
