Don't let the long range of the FRS fools you.  That is theoretical range and to achieve that you need a direct line of sight.  If you go to Costco, you will read "3km range in urban areas" from the box.

On perfect flat surface, I remember the range will be ~11miles max since the curvature of the earth will limit the reach.

Anyhow, these 56km range FRS are way more powerful then those 5km one that I had before.

My neighbor down my block has a big ass antenna sitting at their backyard.  It is like 15ft high with 10ft radius.  I think he plays HAM radio.

Port Coquitlam has an indoor shooting range.  I've been there twice shooting various guns from hand gun to shortgun.  I still haven't tried their 0.5" calibre Magnum but that gun is amazing even just watching my friend use it.  $7 a shot for the 0.5`is too expensive for my blood.
