Mate has a pair of 5W GME radio and it's awesome works with each of us in a creek bed with 2 ridges in between so was hoping they would be as good

It would be next to impossible to get that sort of performance out of anything in the UHF band unless there's a convenient repeater in between. It's not just the transmit power of a radio that matters, but the frequency, the antenna, and a whole bunch of other factors.

So what handheld will work in tough hilly situations ?

They should be pretty well the same there.. Matched for output power, just a slightly shorter aerial than some, which may reduce extreme limit a bit, but still seems to be just fine.

You can also select the output power from the menu (0.5, 2, 5 from memory), if you're just working in close range and wish to save the battery.
