Yeah, the itty-bitty hand-helds are victims of way too
much marketing hype. I've used them vehicle to vehicle
solid out to 1/2 mile and open line-of-sight to about a
mile. One pair I had was good to a couple hundred yards
vehicle to vehicle.
However, for the tasks to which I've applied these radios
a range of a few feet has been sufficient.

Took some PRS radios on a ski trip to Whistler/Blackcomb a few years back and talked to the kids high on the mountain from the rental unit- maybe 5 or 6 miles, but line-of-sight for sure. These things did work pretty darn well regardless of where the units were on either mountain. Also recall a couple of stranded climbers rescued several years ago because they were able to contact some kid 15 or 20 miles away...

Well, that is dramatically different than the advertising. The ones I saw advertised ranges that varied between 5 and 18 miles.
