Howdy! FRS/GMRS radios do not seem to work very well in heavily wooded
areas if you are hiking or hunting and want to keep in touch with others
a mile or so away. I was wondering if maybe hand held CB's might be a
better choice and if so, what are some that are small that would be a
choice? Thanks! Always, Gene

Not a good alternative. Much heavier, and more batteries are needed.
Also, you need an extra long antenna.

Or a bigger payroll.

Or a wheelbarrow to carry it with you. The GMRS works better in the woods, but
you need a license. The FRS works far better in late Nov after most of the
foliage is gone.
