Are those the 1-watt radios? I don't think a regular FRS radio would
work that well. I know we had a bit of trouble with ours during our
Solo I at Talladega Superspeedway, between turns 2 and 3, for instance.
That's probably less than a mile, and quite flat. Of course, maybe
standing near the high banks deflected the signal skyward. . . ;^)
What kind of batteries are used in these radios? How big are they?
And, of course, everybody probably wants to know how much they cost.
