m00n Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 So camping season is getting close and we would like to get some walkie talkies. This is definitly an area where I have no knowledge. Any of you know what to look for, what brands are good? I'm eyeing a few different motorola models. Here is the main one I'm looking at. Image is clickable.

sputnik Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Motorolas are good but those look like a sex toy I saw in Amsterdam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo33 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 "Image is clickable." What image? Personally, I would go with Cobra. They are better made then Motorola. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fini Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Personally, I think you'd have more fun camping with those Amsterdam sex toys. PS: Put them on "vibrate." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefox rules, IE blows - it's a simple concept that everyone can understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You like FF, others like IE, lets just leave it at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Moon, those look pretty full featured. Lots of channels, VOX, noise cancellation knob. Price seems reasonable. I used some Audiovox, I think for a wedding once, horribly noisy things. If you're using them for camping, you have the added element that there won't be so much interference and you're in a quiet surrounding, not like using them in the city. Let us know how the testing turns out. Personally I'd like a smaller set, but maybe you need the big antennae for distance. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael ---------------- Same here. Motorola has some other models that are smaller and seem to be just about as full featured as these which is why I was wanting to post. I was wondering if I was missing the boat as to why these may be better than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 m00n,just make sure you get an "audiophile"grade,maybe somethin' with horns for first rate reproduction.I have a set of motorola that work fine but are a little weak on bass,maybe add a sub?

dodger Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 mOOn: If you go Motorola, make sure of a newer pair. What would be the maximum distance that you'd use them. If you're within a mile, there are some of the communicators - that would save you money. If you go CBs, remember channel 9 is supposed to be emergency, 19 for truckers. You'd have better luck with 19. Look for good battery life, ability to withstand moisture and impact. Also if you go CB designate a channel BEFOREHAND in the case of getting lost.
