VHF is a better choice for outdoors, however UHF is better for indoor use. The distance that we use would not make much of a difference. A commercial radio either VHF / UHF is ideal for us. The difference between a retail FRS/GMRS and a commercial one is night and day. Keep in mind the antennas on most FRS radios is not very effiicient at all.

I am actually thniking of getting a UHF frequency, licencing it and paying for it for airsofters to use. Likely 469.2625 or 469.1125. those frequncies are available, for simplex use throughout Ontario, the only other users are some mall stores and a PI company.
