Cherokee GR715 GMRS 15 Channel 2-Way Radio (Hardwoods )

Summary: Not near as good as expected
Review: I got a chance to try out my radios this weekend on a road trip to Mississippi.The up to 5 miles line of sight statement is simply not true with my radios.We were traveling in two cars each with a radio.There was times when I could see the other car about 1 1/2 to 2 miles ahead and we could not talk to each other due to a broken up siglal.I even held the radio out the window.The manufacturers must have poor vision because I can't see well and I could not get reception in line of sight distances.If we were close enough to see peoples heads in the car we could talk. I dont understand why manufacturers cant just tell the truth.They could state that it is posible but very very unlikely that you will get 5 miles out of this radio.....The good part is they have a good camo job on them and all their buttons work well.
