Normal terrain? 1/2 mile to 1 mile for the typical FRS units. Yes. Saying the range is UP TO 2 miles is like saying a lottery ticket will win UP TO $1 million dollars. I just bought a Panasonic NiMH charger that came with 6 AA's and 2 AAA's. The AA's are marked "2100mAh" and the AAA's are marked "750mAh". In teeny, tiny print -- in front of the claims for the mAh -- it says "Up to". So, when they die and are completley useless, they'll still meet Panasonic spec's.... Oh, well. I bought the package for the charger anyway: 100-240 VAC, 50-60 cps, with "fold-in" mains prongs. Just the ticket for travel. $20 at Costco. 73 Jonesy -- | Marvin L Jones | jonz | W3DHJ | OS/2 | Gunnison, Colorado | @ | Jonesy | linux __ | 7,703' -- 2,345m | config.com | DM68mn SK |
