Well FRS radio's are limited to their power in wattage, however, some people modify them or have radios that are a little older that weren't built under the same restrictions that can get some better range. Take the radio I have for example, the Radioshack 21-1860. A few guys ive talked to told me that that model was discontinued because it was too powerfull and was beyond the legal wattage & range limits. To add to it, someone added a BNC jack and antenna to my radio before selling it. Gives it a damn good range if I do say, but I still need to test it out past 7 mi.
