Admit it. You were thinking up a couple of rad codenames to use with these radios, right?

When vacationing or just hiking some local trails, cell phone users should be aware that there probably is no cellphone service inside the woods.

Someone talk to me about GMRS licensing please.

@tsfisch: GMRS channels require FCC license - This two-way radio operates on GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) frequencies, which require an FCC (Federal Communications Commission) license. A user must be licensed prior to operating on Channels 1 through 7 or 15 through 22, which comprise the GMRS channels of this radio. Serious penalties could result for unlicensed use of GMRS channels, in violation of FCC rules. Licensed users will be issued a call sign by the FCC, which should be used for station identification when operating this radio.

Anyone else first think that these were those foam number 1 fingers you get at a game when looking at the thumbnail?

If you're new to these radios you should understand you won't ever get the advertised range. Those ranges are under ideal situations (think on top of a mountain overlooking a flat desert). Expect a mile at best. Probably less.

Info on GMRS and its licensing: http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/general-mobile-radio-service-gmrs

"In 2010, the FCC proposed to remove the individual licensing requirement for GMRS and instead license GMRS “by rule” (meaning that an individual license would not be required to operate a GMRS device). This proposal is still pending."

Looks like the FCC finally realizes how silly it is to require a license for GMRS and are looking to remove it for individual private use.

Well crap, it sold out. I figured a featured deal would hold until morning. I'm not going to jump on the "alternate" deal which is only a measly $5 off.

Oh well...

Hmmm, it let me order anyway. We'll see what happens...

We use these kind of radios on our motorcycles.
A lot of cops monitor CB frequencies, and they have a long range.
If I only need to communicate within a few blocks, these are better. After a mile away in city traffic there's nothing.
Also look up FMRS radios.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
