I never used one myself so cannot be definitive - I think they had a range of 2 or 3 miles or so. The only people I knew who had them were the rich kids from school who had been given cars by their parents for their 17th birthdays. I believe you transmit on a limited number of frequencies and had a "handle". A bit like Claymores or Judas are not really our names! Faux American talk was also compulsory!!!!!!!
It all sounded very naff to me except when these rich kids would tell the funny stories - you could get someone like "foxy lady" talking dirty on it, and it would turn out to be the school librarian or something!
A bit like how some net sites function these days
