Use them for work every day but they are nice when driving down the road together, or if you know what channels the truckers use on the hiways in bad weather or accidents. And of course if you are in the woods in an active logging area. Enjoy!

Install a linear booster and you can talk for miles and miles and miles. Old school but still good. you will have fun with it.
