    It depends upon many things. Mostly antenna. They are all 5 watts. If you connect it to a mag mount antenna on your roof you will IMO be way ahead of a CB. If you wanted more range you could get a directional antenna. I keep two antenna and sometimes 3. 1 short for tough woods and 1 long for desert/no trees.

    I am not an expert but if you go to a HAM shop and talk with one of those guys and you can get a lot of range out of a 5 watt.

    If you have time, this would be a good listen to learn:

    But for this trip and to communicate amongst ourselves I should be fine with a handheld, right?

    the handheld should be good for a few miles, which is reasonable enough...

    since we will be out in the open, with the mobile radios and big antennas, you should be able to reach someone...

    on average, you will only be about 1/4 mile to 2 miles away from the nearest truck, so the radios should reach...
