Larry, I beg to differ, the frequencies involved are part of a service
called Multi Use Radio Service.  The FCC took 5 VHF frequencies (some of the
'color dot' frequencies) and turned them into a new CB band for voice and
data.  2watt power limit, 60 foot maximum antenna height.  No license
required.

I discovered this a while back while looking into a new frequency assignment
and license for a client (I generally don't do 2 way radio work anymore but
the client is a friend, going to do a 4 frequency assignment on UHF, he owns
a construction company).  Won't meet my friend's needs but useful to many
others.
