Edit: A lot of commenters bought this radio without a license. Be aware if you transmit without a proper license on any frequency, you're liable for fines and prosecution. In the US, it's illegal to use it for FRS, GMRS, MURS since it isn't type accepted. It's legal for Part 90 (licensed land mobile) and Part 97 (ham radio) usage with a Amateur Radio license.
Receiving is for the most part legal. But be careful -- you've been warned!
After bashing on the UV-3R, I hope this glorifying review of the UV-5R will win your hearts back. The UV-5R still costs under $50 (at 409shop.com) and brings all the features to the table. Even a light and FM BC radio, haha.
Biggest pet peeves: The RPSMA antenna connector (like the wouxuns) and the almost too-easy-to-press PTT button, and the radio is only chargeable in the included stand.
