I'm sick of these Frs radios. I want a high power radio that I can take
hiking.
Give me a clue please.
Maybe one that uses repeaters but I am open to anything.


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.
