Two-Way Radios
I'm looking to buy two-way radios (FRS/GMRS) and was wondering what others have. Any feedback about performance (reception, battery life, etc.) are appreciated. Thanks!

Motorola FRS for best reception/range. I have no experience with GMRS beyond what we used in Cadets (and it was Motorola too!) except it was much better than the FRS radios.
