[Paddlewise] 2-Way Radios

Hey, all.

Okay, I'll admit up front that this has been discussed before, and I
ignored the threads because I wasn't interested in owning a set of 2-way
radios.  But, I'm seeing the error of my ways, and my wife and I are
interested in getting ourselves a set for Christmas.

I noticed the other day that some have a 5 mile range.... I thought 2
miles was the legal limit?

Regardless, I trust P'Wisers observations/opinions far greater than just
reading reviews on the web.  So, what do you say?  What are you using,
how do you like it, etc etc etc?

Key things for me are transmission distance, no or low
static/interference, waterproof/resistant, easy to use, more than one
channel if other radios are in the area, easy one hand operation.  What
else should I care about?

Thanks!!!!

Rick
