You need a licence to use the TH-D72A. (There's no such thing as a walkie talkie really) You will need a licence or other authorisation to use most radios that can transmit. Have you considered a CB?

Good news about the licence. Hopefully the moderator of this sectiopn will move this part of the discussion to the amateur radio section.
The Kenwood is a fairly high end handheld for amateur use at around $700, not to mention the APRS functions are not allowed for foundation licences.
Have a look at this page There are better priced handheld amateur radios there.
