It's an open band, and must be kept as such.

Well, I stand corrected. I will point out that one must be careful when using dual FRS/GMRS radio's, through, to make sure one uses ONLY the FRS channels and not the GMRS channels (to use these channels one must have a license). Additionally, range and reliability will probably suffer due to the technical limitations of the FRS. That said, if it works for you, it works for you, end of story.
