OP tominboise Campfire Tracker Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 4,216 Boise, ID	Looking at some handheld radios. Trying to decide between UHF and VHF. Any input one way or the other? http://www.ruggedradios.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=296_35&products_id=173 Regards, Tom

And yes, good 5 watt or even 3 Watt VHF can go a very long way in open terrain. http://ezinearticles.com/?UHF-Versus-VHF---Which-Two-Way-Radio-Frequency-is-Better?&id=1328253 abusus non tollit usum
