[QUOTE="ART W, post: 2725011, member: 989"] You are better served with GMRS radios. Marine VHF radios are for Marine use. You need a Special License form the FCC to operate them. The Marine VHF Band is reserved for , you guessed it, MARINE Traffic. I live in FL and a group of Deer Hunters who run dogs found that those 5 watt Marine Radios worked very well and started using them while hunting. Problem was that the vessel operators heard them and complained to the FCC. The dog hunters were identified and prosecuted and had large fines levied on them. If you want a rugged high power radio go with Amateur Radio for VHF/UHF FM , get then license and you will a have radio that will have great distance capabilities and serve you well for years. In addition some Amateur repeaters can be used to make telephone calls with Amateur handheld radios. They also receive NOAA Weather radio. If you dont want to be bothered with the whole license thing just stick with Good quality GMRS Radios. [/QUOTE]
