The two-way handheld radio's are great for keeping in touch with your friend's on a hike or with your family in the mall. These are the newer versions of the walkie-talkies, that we had as children. If I remember correctly we started out with two tin cans and a string of wire, before upgrading to a walkie-talkie set. The cheap ones cover a distance of ten miles or less. And the upgraded types go for 12 to 18 miles, or more. This is a great way to carry on a conversation in the woods.
Some people who have the proper licenses use the ham radio's, but they are less likely to work as well in mountainous conditions in getting a signal out. Unless of course your sitting in a National or local park setting.
Have you ever used hand-held two-way radios? If so, how well did they perform under forest conditions and in wet weather?
