Just have grandpa get a gmrs license then grand son can use it. Buy any base station you want and use it.  No need for all the junk building and FRS radio that is so limited in power.  Heck you could even do an unlocked ham and only put in 1 frequency 

Grampa doesn't want to get a GMRS license. And yes we have been trying to talk him into getting his GMRS license. This whole project will probably go nowhere anyway.

Just have grandpa’s son, daughter, or any other adult in the family buy a license. It covers grandpa and grandson and the rest of the family.  It doesn’t have to be purchased by grandpa.

Or just get grandpa a GMRS radio and stop worrying about the license. Chances are extremely low (statistically almost zero unless he causes trouble) that anyone will know or care.

@Sshannon we have mentioned that to them.  The FRS base station was just talk since the grandson loves radios so much. Grampa is also our club's head VE so I don't see him breaking the rules.

Again, gutting a legal FRS radio and putting the guts into a 3D printed body with the antenna permanently attached was just talk. I'm sure Grampa will get the boy licensed as an amateur in the near future.

Love that toy grenade. Sometimes I miss my childhood. Quite often, actually.

If my memory is correct, those work on the CB channel 14. Most of the Walkie Talkies from the 70's and 80's were on channel 14.
