Anyone have any experience with decent versions of these radios? The FRS/GMRS bands are often bundled together in cheap "bubble pack" radios. MURS is a lesser-known band that was partially a part of the Business Radio Service until I think around 2000.

I've had cheap FRS/GMRS radios for years, but I just bought two Baofeng UV-5R radios. They are certified for Part 90 (business) and can also be used for ham radio, but are not certified for FRM/GMRS. Not sure about MURS. That said, they can be programmed to operate in all three services. Nice little radios, and cheap.
