If you get a 4 watt unit you wont be able to communicate sometimes with people using the simpler 1 watt GMRS radios or 0.5 watt FRS radios. I ran into this problem this past year at quickpass 2 and sniper hunt near Montreal and op:holyman in Ottawa, when within 500-800m the 4 watt radio is so powerful it blows away my 1 watt radio so all I get is static. The DOW guys at holyman could hear what I was saying but all I got in return was really loud static. In short get what the people you will be playing most often with have, 2 packs of 1 watt GMRS radios which had no problem transmitting over the entire length of the dogs pit even over the huge sand dunes and through the trees cost $20-30 in boxing day sales, the higher end programable radios will give you better range but I don't know about any worse conditions for radio transmitting than the dogs pit.
