I have a couple old FRS radios, but I'm going to pick up a GMRS model this week (I applied for the license this morning).
Good idea! I decided to pick up this pair (hooray for holiday gift cards ):

I didn't realize you could operate GMRS with a license and just the handset, I thought you had to have a base station or something. Cool!
