It's fun. Get a couple of Baofengs from Amazon. Use Chirp to program in the GMRS frequencies. Set them to 5 watts for talking car-to-car during family trips, and 1 watt to chat around the house.
We love them while camping and biking at state parks.
After you learn the basics, start listening to the HAM repeaters. Then get your ticket so you can chat on them.
