[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1225966, member: 68872"] I have the GMRS radios (higher power version of the FRS radios). I will often carry one with my when I ride. Under good conditions you can communicate a fair distance. Unfortunately, I rarely ride in areas that provide good communications. The basic limitation is line of sight. If you can see the other station you can talk to them (even if they are such a tiny spec that you can't make them out). Over water, for example, you can reach 10, 15 even 20 miles if you are up on a fly bridge or similar structure. When you get in the hills or mountains the situation is much worse. You generally do not have line of sight for much distance. You may get a favorable bounce of a tall mountain, cliff or other object that can extend your range but if you are deep in a canyon, or the other station is, or worse you both are but in different canyons, the radios may be useless. They may still have utility if you can ride/hike up to the top of a hill where you can see line of sight back to camp. Might save you a long walk. Rod [/QUOTE]
