[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 3494418, member: 24583"] One of the most important things when you are looking at range is these FRS/GMRS band radios operate in the 460Mhz band which is pretty much line of sight. If you have terrain, (Hills) between your two radios, you are not going to get the maximum range they are advertising. Like the advertisement picture on Amazon, hilltop to hilltop is much different than someone being on the other side of the hill. While I am not very versed in these type radios, I am a ham radio operator and we have a band in the 420-450Mhz range which is very similar where we use 5 Watt handy talkies or 25 Watt mobile radios frequently and I can talk with you about what you might expect if you might like to PM me for an opinion about your application.
