Very true. In north america one couldn't buy the parts for 11 bucks,
let alone add the labor $$ and some profit.

I don’t know how they can possibly make these things, ship them
halfway around the world, with chargers, headsets, etc, for 11 bucks each!
This just defies reality.
But, there it is.

The FCC apparently complained enough for someone to notice:
These ARE legally set up.

A 4-pack for $43 isn’t bad.

I rarely involve The Admiral in anchoring, but when I do I just use
hand signals. Radios seem overkill for this.
By the way, the endless variety of Baofeng (sp?) radios available for
cheap are not legal for this use. Not that this stops anyone, but they
aren’t. They are legally usable as ham radios only if you have a ham
license. They come with a weird random set of frequencies from China
that are kind of scattered around and not remotely legal in the USA or
Canada.
If you buy these things, at least program them for FRS/GMRS/MURS
frequencies. The radios are not type accepted for that, but at least
they’ll be on legal frequencies 😉
