They make walkie talkies now that go 25 miles. A good set with charger
will cost you about $50. I like Midland brand. You might get an
additional


Unless you are on a hill or maybe over water there is no way a walkie
talkie will go 25 miles. Not even the high powered ones of 5 watts or
so. You will be lucky to get 2 or 3 miles out of them in the normal flat
areas especially when the plants have lots of leaves on them. .

Have you tried either of the radios ? The ads can say anything. Looks like
a Billie Mays ad on TV.
Also same type of ads that you add things to your car to get beter gas
milage. I bought a bunch of them and installed it on a car. Had to drain a
couple of gallons out each week it saved me so much :-)

Why stop there ? I talked to someone on a WT around 200 miles away . He
was on a jet around 35,000 feet off the ground. Couple of others I know
talked over 100 miles but one was on Mt. Mitchell (highest point on the east
coast).
This was with the low power WTs. In the flat lands you would be lucky to
get a mile out of them.
