A while back my friends and I were camping,conoeing, paintballing, etc and found our limits with FRS when one of my friends injured himself and we suddenly had severe issues communicating. Since we do these activities a lot, would it be a good idea for us to get GMRS licences and the radios just for the slight bump in power and antenna height? If so what radios would you recommend?
Like I said we do this a lot so $80 worth of license would not be wasted, especially in the spring/summer/fall. We all agreed that we would all get one if it would work better than FRS. Where we go cell reception is very spotty, making it very unreliable which is compounded by us using different carriers.
I was looking at a blister pack of dual FRS/GRMS Motorolas for 60 bucks but the radios didn't seem that good. While I'm not looking for something strictly professional, a good bit of durability is needed.
Thanks!
