cameroon Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 For those of us that are new, any recommendation for two-way? I'm assuming some sort of FRS. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Edge Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Posted April 16, 2009 For those of us that are new, any recommendation for two-way? I'm assuming some sort of FRS.Any FRS & GRMS 2-way radio that supports "privacy codes" (i.e. subchannels) should suffice. None of them really get very good range "Mr. OEM" - 05 JCW (TK, GPIC, SS, GPTA, R56 RSB, StBr, R56 BBK, GPWhls, SV, RS, R56 GSI, IES, StrWhl, GK, HG, LBIT) MCS, HB/HB, Packs: 1, 2, 3 & 4.

None of them really get very good range... but if you want to go "high end", there are some nice Midlands and Motorola ones I could suggest, so [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
wolf617 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 If you have a Costco membership, you may want to check there. They usually have a 3 pack of Motorolas plus earbuds and charger for $80-90, or roughly the same as a 2 pack at other retailers like Bass Pro. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Edge Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Posted April 25, 2009 OK, I called Griffin Tavern, and told them there would be about 10 people coming at around 12:30pm. If the numbers change dramatically before we head out in the morning, I'll call again to update them.

cameroon Posted April 25, 2009 Report Posted April 25, 2009 Thanks to mty_mini for the original route and Edge for the adaptations and leading it today. Had a great time, crazy truck driver that wanted to kill me and all I didn't get a lot of pictures, but what I did get I'll try to make available tonight [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
acetonic Posted April 25, 2009 Report Posted April 25, 2009 Thanks to Edge for leading us today. Great roads and a nice pace!

Edge Posted April 26, 2009 Author Report Posted April 26, 2009 Hey - thanks to everyone that came out today. It may have been a small group (9 people, 7 MINIs), but that wasn't such a bad thing, because it meant we didn't get separated as much, and moved more efficiently!
