Those little FRS radios are not reliable at all. Good as a last ditch communication method, but most of them don't transmit more than 1/4 of the advertised range. They state the range in optimum perfect conditions (wide open flat land or calm body of water).

OK, will let you know as the season progresses. My expectations are low so...

Midland's LXT-326 two-way, 22-channel radios are designed for GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) operation, in a rugged, water resistant package. With a range of up to 16 miles
This radio supports all 22 FRS and GMRS channels, call alert, channel scan, is water resistant, and includes keystroke tones for emergency situations.

GMRS is a different story. You are supposed to have a license to operate in GMRS mode.
