I run Cobras, Canadian Tire Specials. They work great,
As far as features go, they all seem to be simular except for reception distance and the Garmin's with the built in GPS
Remember, these are line of site and in the mountains they may only be good for a portion of the distance claimed.

Got some of those Cobras also from Ukrainian tire. Was unloading one time @ Km 7 on Clemina trail on a clear day & doing a radio check with our group.... Ended up talking to some guys on top of Westridge.... Thought that was kind of cool !

We struggled a bit communicating with the Rhino's in the past and have heard the same form others, don't know why though?

I got the Rino 120 but I`m thinking of upgrading to the 530. It`s nice having the radio and GPS in one.

Cosco has some Motorola's I think for about $100.00 with good range. I was going to get a set of those. Had the Cobra's before and the range was not that great.
