I'm looking at two motorola GMRS radios, one claims to have to an 8
mile range, the other a five mile range, but thier both 1 watt
trancievers. Why would on one have more range than the other. Is
this just marketting?

Paul.

Expect about 3/4 of a mile range. You may get more, but nowhere near the
advertised range.
