[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 252969, member: 2736"] Well I did some testing and this is what I found out. I bought the GXT 750 VPS , [url=http://www.midlandradio.com]Midland[/url] . They worked very well under hunting conditions and the features that I liked were, call alerts with animal sounds because they did not spook game when calling other hunters and they were more natural than beeps or ring tones. ( I used the turkey call and the crow call ). The NOAA weather alert was also a great feature and easy to use. We had some severe weather changes and this feature kept us informed as to what was happening. As to range, Where we hunt it is very hilly and there is lots of thick brush and trees ,And as long as we stay'ed on level ground range was very good. With two mountains between us and on different levels range was cut to 2 and 1/2 miles. I did not get to test on flat ground ( Line of site ) to see what they will do but I feel that if used in mountains with line of site ( No major obstructions ) they will work fine for 8 to 10 miles. The GXT 750 is rated 7.5 watts and 26 miles and under optimum conditions they may work that far but untill I can test that out I'm not so sure about that. I am very happy with these walkie talkies and would recomend them or the better models ( more wattage ) for hunting. I hope this helped J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
