Radios

Help !

On a couple of rides guys, with different people I have noticed alot have CB radios, or 800 mghz, or handhelds, mounted, etc.

With the big ride coming up in Brimstone, it would be nice to communicate.

What should I get?

What do most of you guys have and why?

I think a handheld would be convenient, what about the range?

What's the pros and cons for mounted vs. handheld

Any and all opinions are appreciated.

I bought these to use on group rides which is similar to what most guys use

I have the same radio that bobby does. and thay have worked great on the
last few rides.....

At least bobby good taste in radio's.....

I think the FRS RADIOS work fine... you have basically a line-of-site coverage area, and have at least 14 channels to choose from and then if you want to keep other trash out of your current channel selection, you can digitize the transmit and receive...to kinda privitize the frequency. AND being handheld, you can get out and talk if need to....you cant do that
with a mounted radio. there are several.... many... different FRS radios.... they all do the same thing...you can wear head phones or earplugs with some... and some have the option of the external microphone... some have more bells and whistles than other's, but get one you can afford... or replace if needed.

If anybody needs radios i have two sets, cobra and Motorola, both sets are deluxe models with weather channels and rechargeable batteries and charging stand. 25.00 a set, i will have them with me charged and ready to go, just pm me if you want a set.
