Default walky-talky recs?

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?

Thanks, Tim

Also -- any idea how the new cell phone / walkie talkies (and gps, all
in one), stack up against the dedicated walkie-talkie unites? Talking
about phones like the i860 with Nextel...

I'm pretty sure we had some guys looking for us on the Gallatin last
summer!

Lo siento. I can see that I've written something misleading.

We thought they were some of the ROFF guys at first. Then they got
****ed off at us so we screwed with them a little.

In light of the flame wars you two have been engaged in at times, my
guess is that both of you would have really ripped them a new one. We
just goofed with them a little and it was fun. They were obviously
able to handle it and we probably didn't hurt their feelings too much.

So they do work in river canyons? Great!

Any specific models to recommend? Motorola and Cobra brands were
mentioned...

Thanks, T
