RE: what is a good two way radio
The Motorola Talkbout is a good radio, limited on range but work good. I've had the same Talkbout 250 for 10 years and works great. This year I thought I'd try some Midland GTX950 GMRS/FRS, I found them for $69.00 a pair. I'm hoping I'll get some more range out of them. But I can still use the FRS lower watt channels to talk to most in our group that have the older Talkbouts. These new ones have more features than I need but the Weather channels might come in handy at times.
