Seriously, went hiking for a few miles (trail was VERY curvy, but probably 1 mile as the crow flies) around hills and through dense forests at a local state park, and my Mom communicated very clearly, from base camp, with me the entire time

In thick forest/rough terrain they travel less than 1 mile.

We had no trouble staying in contact around the mountainside which consisted of some open hillsides and some dense forest

Local small ski hill: only could get about 3/4 of a mile apart at the ski hill, but we were each at the bottom of the hill, with the hill between us and dense forest

Understand that they range is only 1-4 miles in the city or dense forest

Other than the cheap-o earpiece and mic attachment - these little babies pack a punch, feel excellent in the hand, great sound, long battery life with rechargeable batt-pack, multi-function, FRS/GMRS with incredible range in urban setting.

I have used A’s on numerous hunting trips they work well!

I just keep AA’s on the trucks and they work great

n’t attest to how far the range is, but within a few hundred yards they worked perfectly.
