    I have 5 Boafengs for my family now.

    We use them camping, hiking, biking, and on the road between vehicles.

    I keep a print out of frequencies used by the Highway Crews to listen in during road construction on highways like wash outs.

    Biggest bang for the buck, the long whip antennas help with the range but even the stock rubber ones wourk way better than any CB or FRS radio.

    I have extra batteries, car charger, holster, the data programming cable and software.

    Buy one, you will gt lots of use of out it.

    What kind of batteries do they use? And how long do you get out of each battery with the radio set on it's highest power setting?

    There is no harm is purchasing these radios to see if you are actually going to use a two-way radio, as you can always upgrade later.

    I have a GT series radio, which the sames as these, plus 3 - UV3s (smaller radios), and 2 - 888s.

    They all have different batteries, but I bought spares, they were cheap like 7.00 each, plus battery eliminators that plug into my 12v outlet.

    I have never run the batteries all the way down they last quite awhile, but you can also buy larger higher cap batteries if required.

    The thing to remember, is these Baofengs beat out most radios on performance and value and are pretty solid.

    Accessories are easy to get and cheap.

    All in all, these radios cannot be beat for value, Canada Ammo made a great choice here.

    nope, these have no channels.
    when you study to pass the exam for the licence you learn how to select the communication frequencies.
