Get 2 miles or more from an FRS/GMRS radio
I have a Midland GXT 800 VP4 FRS/GMRS walkie talkie radio. I would like it to cover two miles or further than that.
The information on the box calls it a 26-mile radio, so that shouldn’t be too hard. Should it?

What is Field Day?
On the same weekend every year, thousands of US radio amateurs leave the comfort of their homes and set up two way radio stations in parks, on hilltops and in open fields. Why do they do this?
