We tried a set of FRS radios one year at deer season and the range was so limited we could sometimes see each other but not talk to each other with them, they are not something I would want to chance being rescued on.
That is strange. We use them for deer/elk hunting as well, and while we have had occasions where we couldn't hear each other, we have never been unable to communicate within visual range. I wonder if that is because we use the larger 2 Watt versions?
That is a good point about CB's being more commonly listened to, especially on or near a major road.
