For example, I am very interested and will most likely purchase a new 2-way radio (GMRS/FRS), specifically the Cobra LI-7200/2WXVP GMRS 2-Way Radio Value Pack that boasts a 27 (that’s TWENTY-SEVEN) mile range, when, in fact, from reading many, many reviews, the most that has been reported is maybe 2 miles?
Now, I understand that there are MANY factors involved, such as urban usage – buildings, houses, cars, trees, etc., but seriously, that is more than a 75% difference. Where are “they” coming up with those astronomical figures? Are the using the ocean, or airspace as their testing grounds?
You know, Walt Disney World covers about 47 square miles which is about the size of San Francisco or two Manhattan islands – so what good are these or any other two-way radios?
If you mention skiing in the mountains, don’t bother cause I was using a 2-way radio while skiing in Colorado and took a wrong turn and ended up literally in the streets of town and I couldn’t contact any of my party for assistance which led me to walking 2 miles in my rented ski-boots just to find a bus. Now, I am from Florida and let me tell you, we aren’t used to ski boots when they are attached to skis, so don’t think us boys down here like them any better now.
A GMRS license? Yeah, right. Then why don’t they include one (or information)when you purchase any GMRS 2-way radios that are for sale to the public? The ones I am referring to are the maximum power output allowed by law.
It sounds to me like “false advertising”, in which case, a lawsuit should be filed, eh?
