I purchased a motorola handheld 2 way for receive only to monitor the railroads AAR channels. My question is do 2 way radios have the same signal range as scanners or are they less, and I also monitor the FEC and they only pick up within a certain distance like its on a repeater but i pick them up just fine from far distances on my old base scanner. I know CSX dont use repeaters i dont think, is that why u can hear them for good distances, thanks for any info.
