What is it that you want them for? It's hard to give any advice without knowing the intended use. Lots of peope rcommend commercial radios, commenting that they can drive their ambulance over them, use them to drive nails, and so on. These radios cost an arm and a leg and can't be programmed without a computer. I never use my radio to change tires or drive nails, so that quality is a waste of money for me.

I'm not sure anybody's making 'real' GMRS radios anymore -- I think they're all Combo FRS/GMRS, which means low wattage and fixed antennas. That may be fine for you, but who can tell? My preference is for GMRS-only radios with a removable antenna and 4 or 5 watts, but I can't find any in my budget and that have full programming from a keypad. I'd check eBay for Radio Shack GMRS radios that are 5 watts if I were in the market for GMRS radios for my personal use. But they're simplex only; I never use nor need to use a repeater, so that's not an issue for me. I have no idea if you need or have access to a GMRS repeater.

I wore out a pair of Cobra 1000s, which were 2W simplex GMRS-only radios. Two watts was fine with their antennas, and we worked with a group who were using 5W business band radios -- no one noticed any difference. I use the Radio Shack 5W radios which are no longer made and Midland GXT-400 Combo FRS/GMRS radios (which I think is 2W, but has the fixed antenna which sacrifices the power) depending on what my needs are for the radio.

Whatever radio you choose, be sure to download the manual and read the instructions for changing settings. Some are so arcane as to render the radio completely useless without having the manual with you at all times.
