Choosing your radio manufacturer

What two way radio can you recommend with longer range, that is practical to use and is the most affordable for personal use?

I’ve researched a bit and found out that most two-way radios have maximum of 5watts output and they differ in price.

Midland seems to have a good price, while Icom costs a bit more. Yet both radios have the same 5 watts output.

Why is this so?

should i go for midland or any motorola products?

pls advice. thanks

Handheld Radio Channels

I recently bought myself a VHF Marine band portable walkie talkie radio. It was going cheap and I couldn’t resist a bargain.

What I need it for is to use it as an FRS radio. I plan on usingit when I’m out hiking and for stuff like that.

Are the VHF Marine band channels the same as the FRSĀ  radio channels, and if not, can I reprogram them for the Family Radio Service?

The handheld marine transceiver I bought was made by Midland.
