Anyone on here using two-way radios on the farm? I'm talking Midland/Motorola/Uniden handhelds, the ones that claim 24,26,32 miles or so? As the crow flies, We are spread out at most, 8 miles with a moderate hills and timber. I have no doubt any of these would work well for say, calling for a grain cart frmo the other end of the field, but is there any handheld out there that's gonna get me 4-8 miles to the shop or bins form the field? I don't want to spend a couple hundred bucks on a four-pack of radios, only to use them in a place where I could flash my cab lights and summon the grain cart or seed tender.... I know better than to expect the mileage the radios claim, but to buy a 32 mile advertised radio.. I would really expect to get half that since they're advertising it. The FCC should stop these claims, skydiving is the only time you could have those types of conditions!!
