    They work pretty good if you get yourself turned around and ask your partner for directions from landmarks....well unless your partner is sleeping in your truck and thinks he's hearing things.

    I believe they all have the same channels.

    Just looking through the owner manual; there are FRS (Family Radio Service), which dont have much range, and then there is the GMRS that have more range.

    Sorry LCpaintballer. I meant that I think the channels on different brand radios can communicate to each other. If you have FMRS channels on your radio you can talk to a different brand radio with FMRS channels sometimes, if they don't have encryption or some other privacy software.

    Re: 2 Way radios

    My dad and I had two way radios moose hunting one year and they really came in handy.We got our moose but it was about 200 yards away down hill through christmas trees at a lake.We had lots of rope and dragged it out but were not in sight of each other so the radios allowed me to tell the the old man when to pull and when the moose was tangled in the trees.The rope only snapped(3/8 poly) twice, without we would have one big knot .

    I have the Motorolla model SX700,which has the GMRS so it has a low watt output transmition power for close communication and a high one of 2 watts too. They work extremely well, I was surprised.

    I always always bring my radios. I recently bought four of the new 22km cobra radios, work great and the ringer can be set to vibrate. You cant go wrong with them.
