Thanks, all. Some interesting options to explore. I'll factor that in.
As my baseline, I doubt we'll ever need serious range. Knowing my wife, she won't lag more than a quarter mile behind. I didn't know how much range to realistically to expect from GMRS. It seems they might do the trick.
So let's say I would like communications between moving fifth wheel and chase car on level ground in the middle of nowhere at a maximum range of 1 mile. Do I need a high power GMRS or would lower power do that for us?
If not, what about 1/2 mile max?
