Good Radioby - June 3, 2004
Pros: Using the GMRS when needed is very helpful. Also the scan option proves handy.
Cons: I've yet to get better than 3 miles of direct coverage. I've even used them in the desert over flat areas and they still only work to about three miles. What's with the 5 mile capability?
