I've used them. A cousin who has had severe back problems loves to go out in wilderness areas, so I bought him a hand held in case he has problems far away from help. I mounted a CB in my Jeep with a big whip antenna to get the best possible range from the hand held in the steep, heavily forested areas.
We've tested it, and have been satisfied that he could get a hold of me if I get back to the Jeep and he does not show up.
Not sure if we could get the same range between two hand helds.
