Easily get 2-3 miles out of mine, regularly use mine from welshpool to Guilsfield which is nearly 3 miles.
Anyone else have these and can comment on the range they have used them over?

They've been around a while, £10 a radio is about normal pricing to be honest...
First You DO need a licence for these in the UK, and no you cannot set the legally to use the licence free PMR frequencies (too much transmit power). That said the chance of being caught is low, however unless the factory or seller has changed the setting (unlikely) the 16 preset channels are on a mix of frequencies, Some that can be used with a licence, and some that are you can't get a licence for (police / medical and so on). Using them out of the box isn't a great idea and a programming cable will be £5 to £10 (Use the free CHIRP software)
You'll get a mile or so range out of them in most conditions, dense urban environments will give you a lower range, open field will increase the range.
The good think about them is they are pretty good for the money and as they are cheap, if they get damaged its not the end of the world....

I was looking at them yesterday, I'm not confident they will arrive, the sellers that have them for under £5 all have less than 50 feedback and a lot of the feedbacks are broken English so not sure are genuine. Also look at the low value of the previous sales, what could he have sold for $0.07
