We purchased a set of these: Click here. Not for the weather feature, but because we wanted a set of walkie-talkies. These have worked great for us! Not just for backing the trailer and keeping in contact with my lovely "spotter", but we use them in the grocery store, when I'm in the garage and she's in the house and nearing lunch time, or if we are traveling and one goes inside a store and the other stays in the car/truck.
We did learn they do not have a 22 mile range, more like 1 mile. (we tested them across the fields behind our house). Direct line of site was a little over a mile. In the woods, if the trees are too thick, the range can be much shorter, and if someone goes into a valley, the signal can get lost between the 2 "talkies". It's also fun to leave them turned on when traveling and get snipits of someone else's conversation too.
But, after we got them, we (then) realized they have the weather band feature. I use that all the time time now! Works great! I love "gadgets" that can multi-task!
