Yeah, good for packing when you've got more than one in your party and might need to split up for recon, etc.
My wife just took one w/her to pick up the offspring....'bout 11 miles away.
We'll see how they work in a few minutes...

I have a pair that are rated for 10 miles... I guess that is for a desert or plains with no hills or trees.
Real world usage where I live.. 1.5 to 2 miles.
Well, appx. 11 miles, a few hills and trees, and a lot of static, but they do work.
I'd say a good $65.00 spent for a couple of pack radios, since I don't really plan on being separated by that much, should TSHTF, God willing.
Beats the crappy Motorola, 3 AA battery, .75 mile-range, everybody's on your channel ones they're replacing.

I HIGHLY doubt it is 11 miles as the crow flies has to be 2 or less, those radios simply CAN NOT go that far based in frs/gmrs output requirements, and antenna height.
But good to know they worked

Eh, it probably helps that I'm sittin' on a hill and she' in the valley below. I can actually see her truck from my front porch thru the tele.

Even with a clear LOS, that range is pretty awesome for a cheapo radio. And I'm not spying on her....I'm simply, uh......observing her activities from a distance in a clandestine manner.......yeah....observing.
BTW...according to the range-finder, it's appx. 6.2 miles ATCF from my front porch to the school.

GMRS was taken care of w/certain, past gov't service apps. No worries, but thanks for the reminder.... ;)
