I believe the 10 mile range is, if you are using them over water ( lake or
ocean, etc ),
under ideal atmospheric conditions ( no storms, snow etc ) using new
batterys fully charged.

I own a pair of Midland LXT300 GMRS radios, the package says it has an
average range of 10 miles under good conditions. I have heard that the
range of GMRS radios is often exaggerated, can anybody shead any light
on this? thx in advance
