Oh, and luckily, at only $25 a pop (ish) its not the end of the world if you need to buy a ham AND GMRS radio. The nice thing about buying the 5r/5x they share batteries, chargers, etc.
EDIT: and supposedly the 5X is a full 5 watt*. Yes, power isnt everything, but its more transparent than the blister pack models that only speak in distance. (which is BS and equally inane as the power only discussion)
Which reminds me I need to get my meter out (and adapters) and actually test them. (spot on 5 watts)
