What about GMRS??? Anyone ever heard of those?




That's what we were just talking about. If your news feed is not showing you
the posts on them try looking at the group on Google. The GMRS are available
in models that start at 1watt, and go to as high as 5 watts that I have
seen. The Midland ones that I use at work are 5 watt. They claim 14 mile
range, but that's not going to happen in the real world. They do work one
hell of a lot better than the FRS and the older 1 watt GMRS I used to use at
work. We use them in and out of buildings. With the 5 watt there is never a
problem no matter where we are. The run about $60.00 a pair for the ones
that take AA batteries. Should give you some pretty good range in the woods.
I have found they also work great when traveling to keep in touch with
multiple vehicles.
