10 miles mite be quite possible. Most of the GMRS raidos that we all
use are 1 watt max. transmit power. The T7100's are 2 watt and the
Midlands that Kono is looking at

are 3 watt.
The 2 extra watts would be a nice boost.

I have some motorola T7100's. They advertised a 7 mile range on them. They are absolutely true. I can talk from my house, near Barnes-Jewish St. Peters Hospital, and talk to my friend who lives near south high. 6 miles as the crow flies, and I'm fairly sure I can get that 7th mile out of them because I can still hear clearly after 6 miles.
Anyway, I bought them from circuit city for around $90, plus a $15.00 mail in rebate, that I still havent gotten back yet.

Doesn't mention anything about licensing :-/
Good description of the unit and accessories, though.
