At this distance they do come in quite clear. They do require the push of a button but are still voice activated. Why the two toegther I'm not sure but if they were only voice activated with no need to push a button they'd be noisy picking up every sound around one. There is a problem of the mic picking up wind noise in a stiff breeze but that can be shielded by the user that's in such a wind. > and you must >speak clearly so the other person can understand you.

I'll report when/if I get a notice from the FCC about needing a license. A HAM radio operator friend of mine said that it was like having a CB. Everyone using such a CB radio is required to have a Citizen's Band Radio Operator's license but few ever comply... a sort of on your honor system.
