I recently got a pair of Midland GXT-450 gmrs radios at Cabela's for about $80. They're 4-watt units & do a pretty fair job. I've got a Motorola T7200 which I feel does better @ 2 watts. I also have several each of a couple of other Motorola models. The Motorola units have wonderful sound clarity. Of all the models I've got (yes, I have a number of others), my favorite gmrs unit is the Motorola T6250. This little 1-watt unit is SMALL & LOADED with features, including NOAA weather alerts. You won't be disappointed if you compare it to other non-commercial grade gmrs units. It's a discontinued model, but can still be found new occasionally on eBay for around $35.
