Those are the radios i run. If you have a line of site, you can talk for a loooong ways. I have noticed that when you are in trees with a thick canopy, like pine or spruce, they don’t work very well. They are about 100 times better than the  talkabouts or any of that style of radio

I’ve been using them for a few years. I can give any kind of reviews or field use updates that you want. They are a game changer

I gave up on sporting good store radios and started running HAM equipment. I am curious what kind of line of sight range are you getting out of those?

Ham ticket is the way to go.  Test is super easy and talking legal on repeaters as well as line of site or other atmospheric conditions is fun.

Wanted to bring this thread back up to the top for any updated reviews by anyone using them?

 We've already blown a several starks this past week on quality bucks, largely due to our inability to effectively communicate in areas with bad cell service. Either it took too long to get my son in close using hand signals, him dropping into a drainage and not being able to see me, or getting too close to moving deer and not being able to warn/stop him. It was been frustrating and I am ready for better hunting communication equipment. I know these are better than the cheap $50-$100 jobs, but how? Range, clarity, etc.?

Thanks in advance.
