Communications In Survival-- Walkie Talkies (Videos)
Communications and contact are vital in a survival situation. Walkie Talkies can be a great addition to your prepping items. The down side to walkie talkies are that they are for short range communications.
Teotwawki Blog suggests: FRS/GMRS walkies are totally adequate for short range, around-the-homestead communications. You’ll typically get a 1/2 miles to 1 mile range, at most, which is typically fine for communications between group members in one area. Most folks have a couple FRS/GMRS walkie talkies floating around their home. If not, a set with two radios, battery packs, charger and other accessories can be picked up for $50 to $100. For a specific recommendation, we have these Midlands and have been pleased with them so far. A pretty good value–lots of features for the price. There are a bunch of these little walkies out there, so I’d pick a quality brand, read some reviews and get some. If the 1/2 to 1 mile range doesn’t cover the area your group needs to operate in, or you’re looking at caravan type operations, CB radio becomes the next easy choice. CB radios are bigger and more power hungry, but will usually get better range, especially with an external antenna. With a CB, you’re still not going to get particularly far, but you should get a mile or three further than a run of the mill FRS/GMRS radio. The radios are usually designed to operate out of vehicles and off a 12v battery, so not particularly helpful for dismounted/on foot operations. MURS radios are another option, though folks are unlikely to have a MURS radio unless they’ve purchased them specifically for survivalist-type purposes. MURS has some advantages over FRS/GMRS radios–more power without a license, can use external antennas, lower likelihood of interference or eavesdropping. Walkie talkie range may be a little bit better.

Thanks but I am looking for secure communication. CB is common and Semaphore (flags) is a little more secure. LOL!
Walkies are OK for line of sight and as you say do not expect 24 miles ever. That is a scam selling point.
