$2.$ Investigative Report $($Meyer$,$ p$.429).$ As assistant coordinator of special events for Salk Pharmaceuticals Inc., you have been asked by the coordinator of special events, Tom Byington, to investigate three different models of GMRS $($General Mobile Radio Service$)$ two$-$way radios with which to equip the five team leaders during your annual three$-$day team$-$building wilderness retreat. The radios must be able to work within a range of $8$ to $13$ kilometres, the distance of many treks and canoe trips. Because teams may be outdoors and away from the conference centre for up to four hours at a time, the radios must have a long battery life. You have learned of three reliable brands: the Corsair PR$3100-2$D $($unit price $$120),$ which according to consumer reports has dependable reception and easy operation but does not reach the rated range; the Unicall T$6500($unit price $$120),$ which features good outdoor reception and funky styling but a short battery life and inadequate range; and the Unicall GM$885($unit price $$125),$ an all$-$round good radio that fares well in different weather conditions and has excellent sound, despite the fact that it does not reach the rated range. The Unicall GM$885$ has a battery life of $25$ hours compared with $12$ hours for the Corsair and $14$ hours for the Unicall T$6500$ model. Prepare a report in which you present your findings to your supervisor $($Meyer$,$ p$.429)$
