[QUOTE="Brandi, post: 2401420, member: 24446"] We have a couple older sets of the multichannel FRS radios, they are perfect for use under two miles. I've used them during hunting trips to keep in touch with hunting buddies, tree stand to trees stand but also while trying to find each other in the woods. You do have issues depending on terrain but as long as you are within a mile or two of each other its not much of a problem. Where they really shine is for car to car communication when traveling in a group, however, I suspect in a mountainous or high hill area you would get gaps in communication. They also work very well when Christmas shopping or keeping track of wandering children at the mall, although you look pretty silly lol. The FRS style radios are really handy but, as mentioned, have limitations way below what the advertising trys to make you believe. If I could afford to do the Ham portable radio route I would. If you need signal 2 or more miles out, Ham is the only legal way I know of. [/QUOTE]
