Radio-to-radio line-of-sight two CT450 radios should be able to communicate 2 miles. Height and placement of your antenna will determines range. Holding the antenna perpendicular to the ground (straight up) will give you the best range. Any obstacles you put inbetween the radios such as structures/trees can reduce range. If talking from inside a building to outside you may only get 1/4 to 1/2 mile. Conversely, if you are on a mountain top, you may be able to talk many miles into a valley below.
