2 way radio's...

How many owners have 2 way radio's? if you have one... what brand/model do you have? are they all compatible or does it depend on the brand/model you get?

I was thinking about all the mods I want for the rhino and thought this would be a better accessory to have before i buy anything else.

I've got the Motorola GXT-450's. Their supposed to be 12 mile range, but I only get about 2miles in the mountains. I like them, and are compatible with most others.

how much did you pay for yours wv?

....It's been awhile, but I think I paid about $80.00 for a pair.

I have a Samsung offered by Alltel haha that and yellin HEY!!! sorry had to pop in on this thread

I have those smaller cobra 2 mile range 2-ways with 2 channels. You know the ones used on the trip to windrock an back. What did you think of those?

I also have a pair of Midland radios, think they are 22 channel with a 12 mile range. They also have a built in weather alert. Those are my newest an the cobras are old.

Go with the Midlands, a great radio!

Radios are great, we need to come up with a club channel so when we ride we can all be on the same one.

I use the Rhino 120. They work pretty good and are compatible with the cobra and midlands. You also have a gps map and can have peer to peer contact with someone else that has the same radio.

I have a Garmin Rhino 130.

this might be a silly question... but are they worth 250+?

the 110/120/130 is the model and yea they are like 300+.
The peer to peer feature is cool. You can see were everyone is on your map. Its easy to find people. We use them hunting, running dogs. It kinda feels like we are cheating.

yeah, that's a cool feature... being able to locate someone like that.

i ve been meaning to ask u .was that u that had 2 gps s on there rhino at WR??

wasn't me.. i didn't have anything related to electronics, except my phone. Tellico has a gps, so it might have been him...

My GPS was the Garmin 200 Automobile GPS......not really made for the Rhino!

That was me that had the 2 GPS units. I have a Garmin 60CS mounted on the dash and my Rhino 120 mounted on my cage. I bought my Rhino 120 for $149.99.

So did the club decide on a club channel so we can keep in touch if need be on the trail??

gunny,that's a good question... you might want to post that question in the Club rides/member section.

Most of the radios have dual power channels with some being stronger than others, It should be a full power channel we use which ever it is.

I would vote for Channel 2... it is used on the Windrock Mtn and both FRS and GMRS radios have it.. (not to mention I have it in my 40watt mobile) LOL

Bought some radios today and I'm struggling to get the VOX to work. They are Cobra
PR4500WX. The ear-buds have of course an earpiece and a mic. Th mic has a little PTT button on it, in VOX mode the only way the mic will work is if you hold the PTT button???? IT will go in and out of VOX but only when you constantly hold down the button?? Damned if I know......

Let's go with Channel 2 like IceMan said :) That's the channel my gang usually stays on anyway.

pate... i got some radio's with the headset and i can't figure out the VOX with the headset either... have you figured it out yet??

Hell no!!! Mine will work in VOX only if the little butto is pushed on the ear-piece, then it will VOX but only if the button is pushed, so to me,thats really not hands-free vox?? I might just glue the dang buttons down.
