Long term I would like to get my HAM license, but I am moving cross country next weekend, and I am looking for a pair of handheld FRS radios so I can throw one in my U-Haul and one in my Brother-in-law's car.
I have been looking at the Motorola MT352R, but I really don't know if I would be better with a Uniden or Midland brand. Or if that is overkill, and a much cheaper model would be just as effective.
I know not to expect the "35 mile" range, I don't expect his car to be more than a half mile from me, so it should work fine, but I am curious if I am better off looking at a different brand. Ideally I would continue to use them as a backpacking radio in the future, but that is a secondary concern.
Any advice or suggestions is appreciated.
