Just understand that the FRS/GMRS radios do not transmit at full power when using the FRS channels only when using the GMRS channels.

 

well poo

 

Kieth, you a WalMoocher? me too. gotta get 'em somewhere i guess.

 

I saw some in wally world for only 8 bucks that should work just fine, but of course I didnt get them I got the 40 dollar ones cause im a moron.

 

i picked this up for my Motorola T5950....transforms throat vibrations to words, can do PTT or VOX....won't have to worry about wind interfering

 

i've also got a set of almost new Motorola T5500's if anyone wants to buy them I can bring them with me....they are 5mi FRS's

 

NO VOX...NO VOX...FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, BREAK THE VOX FEATURE OFF ALL YOUR RADIOS!!!

I've whipped 3 radios down the mountainside being forced to listen to some moron's musical preferences because they had VOX turned on. Please, don't make me toss a fourth radio off a cliff .

BTW...be sure you have strong, fresh batteries (and backup batteries to replace during weekend). You'll need them cuz you'll forget to turn the radio off . And 5 mile range quips or no...if your batteries are sour, you won't talk to the guy parked next to you through these radios .

the VOX on mine only reacts to throat vibrations...so unless you are singing in won't pick up on it...these things are very cool and can be had for around $40 ea

 

I scored these at my local wally world:

no sub channels, but then I doubt most will have sub channel anyways. The price is right and comes with all the goodies.

BTW, i think these radios can transmit on high power on the shared GMRS/FRS channels....

 

actually all of the Motorolas have sub channels...not sure if we'll use them or not....that's a nice package deal you got though for the price
