Not totally useless. I'm sure there's some folks in the community that enjoy listening to a guy's heavy breathing. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Any decent FRS/GMRS radio should work fine for you. You can go a little more extravagant if you have a few extra bucks lying around. I picked up a couple of Abel TH-378's from a group order run by ODP off the BCAC forums. They're great quality Kenwood clones. If you open them up inside they're all Kenwood parts. These particular radios are programmable in the FRS/GMRS range and are much nicer/clearer sounding/better transmitting than a typical FRS. There's many other similar types out there as well, Icom, Motorola etc. It all depends what you're after.
