They work w/o license and I don't think all those people you see walking around in Gatlinburg with them have bought the license. Do you have to purchase a license to use a CB? I think so. Do you think truck drivers pay to use their radios? I'm in no way saying that if no one else follows the law then we might as well join in. I like to know what I'm paying for though and it's not very clear as to what that is.

I tried to research it and find out what you are paying for and I guess it's for the right to talk on the airways.

Anyone else have any info. on this subject because I'm a little confused as to the whole license thing.
