Thanks for heads up. Just picked one up.

What the bafong is this??? Like a walkie-talkie??? Can I use it like a Nextel when I'm waiting for my food at Applebee's?

Seriously - this is just a walkie, right? What are people using this for in the age of cellphones and texting?

Think licensed amateur radio. Communication system that works when natural or man made disaster takes out cell phones, or when LEO shuts down cell phones because of threat of cell phone trigger on IED.
