We have some older Motorola models (don’t know which they are) where we could talk between towers at 15 miles ☺
We purchased them over 10 years ago. They are mostly broken now.

They are 5 watts so decent output power. I have talked to guys going to the store a few miles out easily from a tower.

It is ok to use but we are looking to get somethings better which makes it easy for tower crew to use. No days when we go to some department stores or Apple Store etc. all the employees their have nice head set and small talk button to speak. It would be good to have Bluetooth on them so person on the top can talk with ease. Any suggestions? Tushar
