Even as an Amateur Radio operator with the option of having more powerful transceivers the range isn't much better with a 6 watt or stronger Handy Talkie. For battery life we run the HT's at the lower power settings and use wire J pole antennas you can throw up in a tree or get up high somehow. Power doesn't do that much with a hand held. Rubber duck antennas are very limited. I use the base loaded wire antenna from Comet on my little HT instead of the stock plastic antenna. It does help... I think. But its still line of sight, get a cheap FRS radio and call it a day or become a Tech rated Amateur Radio operator for more options. :)
