RE: Two-way Radio's
JT: You will have no problem with noise.There are numerous call features you can setand a quiet mode with no noise or signal for the hunting situation. I would suggest the optional headset with mic for hunting.Last years bear season was the first I used the radios for longdistance. We had 5 hunters with Midland's in upstate Pa. and never lost contact with anyone in our hunting party. I would guess the average distance was around 1 to 2 miles.
