The reason would be that you've got about a 500 metre line of sight transmission range with a handheld.

There's an extremely good chance that even if you can hear people, they won't be able to hear you, because the majority of UHF users have a minimum 3+ watt output, which means that unless you are using a repeater, you'll probably only be able to talk to people on the same block as you.

I don't like your chances of being able to hit a repeater with a handheld either, unless you're standing right under it!

25+ watts and a beam will squash you every time.

Thanks for the information. It was supposed to be sarcastic though but a bit difficult to convey I have used them out in the country a fair bit when on dirt bikes which is where this will come in handy as well as the cruises. B)
