Radios at Rodman

[racemanfl]

Since nextels dont work in all of the forest someone needs to pick a radio channel that all can monitor  Jerry

[sk8r_dude]

OK I pick channel 7. For no reason except that I generally keep my motocomm communicators on that channel. Alright with everyone?

Midland GXT 450  4 watt 12 mile range

dream on!  12 miles no way, VHF or UHF and what frequency. go to my web site and use the range wizard under 2 way radios and try again. let me know if you want good old USA made Motorola radios.

I got talk abouts and 40 channel cb radios let me know what you guys will be using im game for either.Caospop@aol.com

I have Motorola Talkabout T6510s.  I think they are only 1 watt but should be fine for a leader and a sweeper in a group.

I've got two Cobras with ear buds, 2 watt, says 8 mile range. Should do good for 2-3 miles easy. My son and I will have them with us.

i have a YAESU FT-7800R 40 watt output should be good for 30 miles

[big-daddy]

no good, wrong frequency. The FT-7800R provides
50 Watts of power on the 144 Mhz band, and 40 Watts on the 430 MHz ... and that a base station

[sk8r_dude]

I am aware that 12 miles is an advertised range and these radios do not live up to their distance. I liked the fact that in its price range, 4 watts was the most power I could find. You mentioned your website and a chart. What is it?

BTW, although it struggled, my sprint phone woked most of the time on the last ride in ONF.

I got two Motorola worksite radios I can bring that have pretty good range.  I've used them to talk to the top of a 20-story building under construction before from the ground and it was loud and clear.

on the web pick a radio and the range wizard is on the bottom. Ida_Mann what frequency are they on. We need to be on the same frequency. 4 watts will do great out there. have many people use Motocomm helmet headset for Motorola radios. http://www.csonline.net/crawford/Motocomm/motocomm%20helmet%20headsets.htm
This is the best for riding, my family and the group I ride with all have them. The PTT button is on the handle bars and its water proof. I have Motorola SP50 VHF 5 watts on a private frequency. I have over 2000 rental radios at the store. Will give out at N.C to members, but will need a security deposit if losed or damaged.PM me if intrested.

i did the mod to mine FT-7800 and use the remote mount so just the face plate is on the bars, the radio is in the dry box, i get 38 watt output on the GRMS band, also the ICOM 208H is a good radio to....

I got no clue what frequency they are on, but it has a choice of hundreds of channels if I remember right.


They are "Spirit" models I think,,,MVC is in the model number, but they are at work and I'm not gonna be back there (hopefully) till Tues.

Spirit radio are programable. see if you can find out the frequency, its on the book or remove the battery door to see if the tech wrote now. 2 watts go for 3 miles in the woods

[Ida_Mann]

dang man, I lost the books to them long ago, but I'll take a look behind the battery mañana.
