Wow, can this thing really go 20 miles?!
20 miles seems a bit extreme...I would be shocked if technology has come up that far. I recall not so long ago that 5 miles was something unheard of in a walkie talkie. For the price...I am finding it hard to believe
I just checked, it's got 4 AAA batteries (which is generally a good sign). Crappy ones ues only 3 batteries and they don't seem to be as powerful.
Note that to use the GMRS features you are obligated to get a license from the FCC.
If they work anything like the 5 miles ones I got then they are not worth it. They worked for about a week and now they just drain the battery when being used.
yeah im pretty sure frequencies in the unlicensed bands cannot travel 20 miles...
20 miles is the circumference, guys. It's only a 3.2 mile radius.

Cell phone has a coast to coast range?
#6 might be right as it is marketing hype. As for line of sight, the curvature of the earth for a 6ft man line of sight to another 6ft man is right at 18 miles.

I have one pair of these. There is certainly no problem for a few miles radius, even in mountain area. I used them last winter in a ski trip, and I was able to communicate from the slop of ski area to the hotel, which was quite a few miles away. That was quite impresive.
It can also take 4x AAA battary as well. You can select the high or low power radio mode. It lasts only about a day, if you set the power on high and use 4x AAA battary, on hunting trip.

your lucky if you get up to 2 miles in any urban city with these unless the model requires an FCC license. besides, it would be nice if these came with individual chargers for each unit, rather than a single base.
