You ain't missing much,they are all piles of shit made by maxon in korea.stick with uniden/ranger rci made radios you won't go far wrong.

As for FM not having the range of AM,nonsense,as Bob correctly says FM is Comparable in range to AM and has a few advantages besides,not least a lot less rfi due to it not being amplitude modulated,the biggest drawback is the heterodyne hiss between overs if squelch is open as bob also said.It also has another cool advantage which is the capture effect,which stops @ssholes with slighly lower signals than the person your talking too keying the mike to interfere with your conversation,as on FM the strongest signal wins.
