Barely 2 miles unless you're in a completely open area with line of sight. No one uses these on top of two mountains to communicate with each other at great distances

35 miles across a calm lake at night....In no other circumstances can you get 35 miles. If you wanted "True" 35 miles, you'd need a license.

FRS according to their pictures. I could not find transmission power, but strangely their website had an AI label. Guess what. No AI in this. Amazon reviews say 0.5W transmission on FRS channels (presumably 8-14) and 2W on GMRS channels (presumably all others).

I have 10% cash back offers on Woot purchases on all my Chase credit cards except on the Amazon Prime Visa where it's only 7% cash back.

Neither of my talkabout batteries no longer work, lasted not even a year and a half--used them about 4 times. Total garbage, Motorola is trash at this point in my experience.

Many cases I don't have cell reception. That's why I'm interested in this. I've also considered a CB.
