Size doesn't matter, right? Well, perhaps. But when comparing distance capabilities in walkie-talkies it sure does! There's the more common 2-mile and 5-mile units. And then theres the less common like the 7-mile, 8-mile or even 10-mile units. Your range of service needed really just depends on what your use will be. Hikers, for example, might prefer a greater range of distance.
The important thing to keep in mind when considering distance is that buildings, hills and other tall, solid structures can very easily get in the way of your transmitted signal. Distance is especially an issue with hunters, hikers and campers. FRS radios can grant you a range of up to 2 miles, whereas GRMS units can typically take you up to 5 miles. Just remember that the height of the antennae may be more important than the level of your radio's output power.
The greater distance units, like the 7-mile, 8-mile or 10-mile radios, may be more ideal for folks who generally do a lot of caravanning on road trips. The walkie-talkies would be great for outdoorsmen or hunters when they catch their target so they could buzz their buddies into helping them carry the large animal back to their vehicle.
Whatever the case may be, it's free two-way communications, where you don't have to rely on a cell-phone tower to get signal. With just the push of a button, you can easily get the attention of your friends, family and coworkers and get your message across. And you can do it knowing that in this case; when it comes to two-way radio distance range, size does matter.
