    Can you pick up RR channels on those family talk radios . Saw some Motorola at Cabela’s that were claiming very long distance usability .

    Family talk radios can't pick up RR freqs. They are very low power, one of the reasons no license is needed. The handheld Baofengs do both the VHF/RR channels & family channels.

    Cabelas is not the place to rely on accurate info re the range of a transceiver. Find a local shop that deals in VHF radios & inform thyself! Don't need to buy there but they know chit!

    I picked up couple of those at Amazon.com Great Radios , can program in family channels and add repeaters BaoFeng BF-F8HP (UV-5R 3rd Gen) 8-Watt Dual Band Two-Way Radio (136-174MHz VHF & 400-520MHz UHF) Includes Full Kit with Large Battery
    They advertise 8-Watt , I had them tested and they are getting 5.5 Watt trough which is still very good, they work good for me.
