This Spring I am shepherding a crew of 14 split between two boats around the

I am thinking about at buying a couple of pairs of FRS/GMRS radios. I
understand that the published ranges are pretty well BS and power is not as
important as quality of construction.

Anyone have a positive experience with a make/model they would recommend? I
need a reliable range of at least 3 or 4 miles. A detachable antenna would
also be a plus.



Do you have a license to operate on GMRS? Operation on GMRS without a
License is s no no.

On FRS, detatchable antennas are aldo forbidden by regulation.
