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. Umm yeah, that's more or less what I said, and you replied to my post cutting out where I said that. You won't get 5 miles with GMRS. And if you're hiking, and on the other side of a mountain as someone else, not much but a repeater will help. Ok, I was responding to I had not seen the original post. I did not realize you were posting and answering yourself under different screen names. shrug -- "Everything in excess!
