Their ad on ebay states 3 different rf output power levels, 2 watts, 3 watts and 5 watts in the specs. It was my understanding that these were 2 watt radios and not 5 watts, not that there is much difference at this frequency to begin with just something to be aware of when buying them.

I scrolled down the page to the listed specs, it says 2w:
General Specifications
Frequency Range
UHF
RF Rated Power
2W

The $144 is for the 2 watt
The 5 watt is 155 https://www.ebay.com/itm/20x-Baofeng-BF-888S-5W-Two-way-Radio-UHF-400-470MHz-Handheld-HT-Walkie-Talk... [ebay.com]

Interesting idea: buy some and distribute it to your neighbors with kids, and then let your kids talk to other kids while in quarantine, and maybe have parents take turns telling spooky stories or reading books.

How many fcc violations would it take to get a visit from the authorities?
