Personal Two Way Radio

Now i've searched that most radios has maximum of 5watts output and they differ in price.
so far i've seen midland has good price w/ 5w output.
while icom..etc has 5w output yet they are a bit pricey.
why is that so?

should i go for midland or any motorola products?

pls advice. thanks

search ebay for the bellsouth ranger series or motorola talkabout series.

make sure it is limited to 14 channels only and has an effective radiated power of 500mW.

under the right conditions you should get a range of 2 miles to communicate over.

i mentioned these radios because they are legal for use w/o a liscence from the fcc.

the 5 watt 22 channels radios are also legal, but you need a liscence to use chan. 15-22 period, and 1-7 if you put out more than 500mW.

if you get caught communicating on the channels mentioned above you're liable to get a $10K fine from the fcc

2-way-radios-range.blogspot.co m When was the last time you tried out a decent set of 2 way radios range? It Save Time, Save Money, and Stay In ...

camulflaged two-way radio, bellsouth model # 2735TM4 , withcharging stand. for personal use.

look for similar units
best to know for now is, these radios have two parts when selecting a channel
1 part is what frequency you work off of, and 2nd is what "privacy" code you pick ( not really private, more like annoyance reduction of other conversations)
so you may pick channel 5 with priv code 3, and anybody else that has that setting can talk to you with out problems.
I could not find anything on your exact item. check with the store.

This story occurred on Auckland radio last week. One of the FM stations has a competition where they ring someone up, ask them three personal questions, ring their spouse or partner, ask them the same three questions, if the answers are the same, the couple win a holiday to Bali.

Last week the competition went like this:

Presenter: Gidday its XXX-FM, do you want to play the game ?

Brian: Yeah, sure.

Presenter: O.K., Question 1 - When was the last time you had sex?

Brian: Ohhh, maaaate. Ha Ha, well, about 8 o'clock thismorning.

Presenter: And how long did it go for Brian ? Brian: Orrrrr ... about 10 minutes.

Presenter: 10 minutes ? Good one. And where did you do it mate ?

Brian: Ohhhh maaaaate, I can't say that.

Presenter: There's a holiday to Bali at stake here Brian !

Brian: O.K. ... O.K. ... On the kitchen table.

Presenter: (and others in the room - much laughter). Good one Brian, now is it O.K. for us to call your wife ?

Brian: Yeah, alright.

Presenter: Hi Sharelle, how are you ? Sharelle: Hi. Good thanks.

Presenter: (Explains competition again) We've got Brian on the other line, say hello.

Sharelle: Hi Brian.

Brian: Hi Sharelle.

Presenter: Now Sharelle, we're going to ask you the same three questions we asked Brian and if you give the same answers, you win a trip for two to Bali.

Brian: Just tell the truth Honey.

Sharelle: O.K.

Presenter: Sharelle, when was the last time you had sex ?

Sharelle: Oohhhh, noooooo. I can't say that on radio.

Brian: Sharelle, it doesn't matter. I've already told them.

Sharelle: O.K. ... About 8:00 this morning before Brian went to work.

Presenter: Good, nice start ! Next question. How long did it go for Sharelle ?

Sharelle: (giggling) About 12, maybe 15 minutes.

Co-Presenter: That's close enough ... Brian was just being a gentleman.

Presenter: O.K. Sharelle, final question. Where did you do it ?

Sharelle: Oh no I can't say that. My mum could be listening. No way, no.

Presenter: There's a trip to Bali on the line here.

Brian: Sharelle, I've already told them so it doesn't matter anyway .. just tell em.

Sharelle: Ohhhh .... alright .... Up the arse !

Radio Silence

Advert

Presenter: Sorry if anyone was offended before, we're going live here, and sometimes these things happen. We've given Brian and Sharelle the holiday. Now we'll take a music break.

hahahhahahahaa So funny, thanks. You have a great sense of humor, Jonsey, more please.
