Another use case...while in a cruise with family and friends. No cell signal in the middle of the ocean. I don't use this brand though...I use Baofeng units and they work great!
Even thought my local one had 6+ today, I could find any. I did find some Uniden sx409-3ckem 3 pack for $59, down from $109. There were a few more sets marked down too. Solid walkies for those who need something more quality/longer range and more features.

what model of baofeng do u use? the hame radio one or the walkie talkie version?
Shows 2 left. not going to try lol been let down 100% of the time
Showed 6 left at my local wallymart. I should have known, but of course none left when I got there. Walmart employees pointing me all over the store from the electronics section to digging through the piles of unorganized clearance items and nothing- good times!

Dang, sorry to hear. Learned my leason not too long ago when it showed 6 avail for those ssd drives.
Just to clarify the only way these could possibly do 16 miles is from the top of one mountain to the top of another without any obstructions and the right weather. In a city you likely won't get a mile.

I just picked up a bunch of the UV-5RTP. They were on sale on the Baofeng site with free shipping. Basically the same as the UV-5R except it goes to 8w as opposed to 5W. There are some good package deals on amazon that include programming cable and hand held receivers as well. Great radio.

It's been stated before but many still believe the 16-mile BS.

I started with the 9.99 one but not worth it even at 0.99 cents
