I bought a set of SCobra (22 mile range CT model type) at CTC a few years back for deer hunting and love'em. They are compaq with 22 channels available to choose from... I use regular AAA batteries not the rechargeable ones that comes with the unit.
I find the rechargeable's loose their charge after their initial use and never have the same longevity afterwards... Out in the bush, sitting in the deer stand can become a problem without an ear piece when your partner calls you, a ringing tone is immediately heard on the receiving radio
Overall, I'm happy with the units and do not hesitate in recommending them
