Anyone tried any modern-style walky-talkies for use when fly-fishing
with (fast hiking) friends, ones that will work in river gorges? Or,
ever see any side-by-side reviews of such?

I just spent the last three days scrambling up and down river canyons
with friends, and could really have used a good pair to keep us in
touch. We almost lost one guy. My concern is that the walkys won't
work in the deeper gorge areas. Any thoughts?

They work very well, especially in river canyons. It's convenient to be
able to keep in touch. They're great in cars. I like to tune into
different frequencies and **** with people trying to communicate with
their fishing buddies. Great sport.
