One lives inside Noisebridge on the third floor (currently on the shelf of one of the electronics benches), and is always on, with the volume all the way up, and is sitting in its battery charger. The other is hanging next to the elevator on the first floor (always off, to conserve batteries).

Yup, they are FRS radios.  I've set them up for Channel 8, with sub-carrier 1, with noise-reduction enabled.
