I'm enjoy the radios a lot, and the chirp software is pretty good stuff.
So this was my next purchase.
These are the AR-5RM radios... the unlocked version with different style of antennas.

Then I bought these...

Although these radios have a nice size battery to start with (2500 mAh) I thought a couple larger batteries couldn't hurt. Right?

Yes, I've been talking on these quite a bit. Undertaker has a set of these and he is just over a half mile from me (as measured via Google Earth) and we talk at least once a day. Me in my house and him in his recliner. Perfectly clear audio. They're also both turned down to 5 watts. We have also talked when I'm in my office which is 1 1/2 miles from him. And if you're wondering... yes, we both have our gmrs license. It takes all of about 24 hours to get your call sign.

I recently hit a local repeater that's 7 miles away. Not too bad!! They're definitely fun radios to operate.
