I'm thinking that these radios would probably be adequate as well: BaoFeng BF-888S https://www.amazon.c.../dp/B00ECW9DB4/

I'll pass on the savings to buyers if this 3x set is legit.
Cracked open one of the three I received from eBay for $20, these things are legit. Good speaker, mic, and actually has a rubber seal around the whole body. Probably old units from gov't, police, or hospitals.

Using this one. For the money it works great. Can't go wrong. Also bought an extended battery.

I normally use Motorola Talkabout EM1000r. Purchased headsets a few weeks ago. At the dragon, their range is very limited. And for some reason, I'm always running out of battery. Therefore, yesterday I installed one of these:

I thought I read somewhere that you would be on channel 4? From what I am reading you need a license for most of these radios?
