What kind of distance are you trying to get? Have you tried the GMRS
radios?
They can be had in a model that puts out 5 watts instead of 1/2 watt that
you get out of the FRS. They claim 14 miles. They of course do not go that
far unless you are on the water, but they will give you a hell of a lot
more
range than the FRS. The ones made by Midland run about $60.00 a pair for
the
ones that use AA batteries.
Umm yeah, that's more or less what I said, and you replied to my post
cutting out where I said that.
You won't get 5 miles with GMRS. And if you're hiking, and on the
other side of a mountain as someone else, not much but a repeater will
help.
Ok, I was responding to
I had not seen the original post. I did not realize you were posting and
answering yourself under different screen names. shrug
