My experience using the popular 2-way radios hunting & fishing is that
they are not very effective--range is limited pretty much to clear
line-of-sight distance. Hills, lake points, islands, trees,
buildings--any interfering structures reduce the range significantly.
Their claims of 1 to 5 miles distance are not realistic, or perhaps
are based on absolute optimum conditions, such as boat to boat across
flat water.

Maybe Moe or others have had better results?

Nope, your right on that Guy. Cell phone is my weapon of choice - lol
