My fishing group has used a variety of Motorola hand held radios over the past few years to comunicate between boats when out fishing. Our latest pair of rechargable radios have been the best, rated for a 10 radius. (which it clearly can't do) But still there are times that they just don't cut it. I picked up a different boat this past fall, and it's equiped with a Raytheon marine radio. So which works better?

The key to the whole distance thing is the height of the antenna. The higher the antenna, the better the range.
