Not waterproof These are not waterproof by any definition. First time out, we got flipped over and one radio filled with water. The other got some water in it. Both radios are junk now. Very unhappy with them.

All out says:

Probably worse In the woods which is where I bought them … Only about a mile of reception in town, 42 mile must be in the desert should of listened to the other reviews. Probably worse In the woods which is where I bought them for.

Best option in blister pack radios Unless you get an amateur license and buy ham gear, or commercial grade handhelds, this is your best option. A license IS REQUIRED for GMRS channels. It puts out .5 watts on FRS channels, and 1.5 watts on GMRS channels. That is sufficient to transmit 40 miles line of sight. The only way that can happen is if each operator is on a mountain top with NO obstructions. People routinely talk via amateur radio to the space station 240 miles above the earth on 5 watts handheld radios…
