Just picked up a few baofeng uv5r radios and a Magnum s9 10/11 meter cb that has been modded a bit. Cant wait to play with it some. Thinkin about making the s9 my base station and pick up a s45 to go mobile with. The baofeng got about 3/4 mile with factory antenna on frs channel 3. Through houses, trees and a little over a hill. Lost signal drastically after the hill. And that was with 4 watt power
