Maybe those are legal? It’s the Chinese ones that broadcast outside amateur bands that are illegal to use. :)

The amazon links are to the ones which will be banned soon, supposedly patent infringement stuff on the hytera ones.

Get a 5 pack of the baofeng ones for $120.

baofeng:
“On September 30, 2019, it will become illegal to sell or “offer for sale” (advertise) radios like the popular Baofeng UV-5R that can operate in the FRS radio band (462.5625 – 462.7250 MHz) and any other licensed band in a single device. Manufacturers will have to either quit selling them or block out the FRS bands–like they already do for the current cellular bands.”

Preppers may be interested.

I guess they could be used illegally if you don’t have the license, but unless you behave foolishly, I doubt you will be turned in. Might as well get the license.
