Hmm... $43 for a 23 mile range, or $249 for a 2 mile range. Sometimes improved technology isn't the right solution.

- nmcfarl 11y agoI don’t know about the 2 mi range - but the 23 mi range is in best possible conditions, line of sight from mountain top to valley. Those same walkie talkies advertise a 1 mi range in a "Neighborhood"
- baldfat 11y agoThey are much farther then line of sight. I certainly get two miles in heavy forests and other side of hill. These work great for groups hiking and climbing. http://www.buytwowayradios.com/blog/2006/07/the_truth_about_range.aspx http://www.buytwowayradios.com/blog/2006/07/the_truth_about_...
- lepht 11y agoFrom your link: > The range that a two-way radio advertises is the range that the radio should get in "ideal" conditions. Ideal conditions are line of sight, such as from a mountaintop to a valley below -- no interference at all. > So what type of range can you expect from your radio? Usually half a mile up to two miles
- baldfat 11y agoAs I said I get about 2 miles
