its winter time and ive been day dreaming about cruising in the spring.. two way radios would make communication alot easier than using a cell phone. im sure someone has used some. basically i am looking for some radios with decent range and around the 50 dollar range for a pair, we will need 4 total.
looking around seems like there are alot of duds and ones that just down right suck, what are your personal experiences with these and what do you recommend?

why not just use the radio/walkie talkie app for cell phones ?
has a hell of alot better range then a basic 2 way walkie talkie radio, strangers can't chime into your convo and it saves minutes on your cell phone.

Saw him in Red Bank. Long time fan. Agree with above, use the free apps available. They work fine.

these apps work like push to talk? the ones i have seen are like voice messages that are sent almost like a text via an app that eats your battery.

i use tikl as well. its just like a two way radio. i mostly use it to save on minutes. when you get 300 minutes a month. this helps stretch them and makes those minutes last longer. you can have as many people as you want in the conversation at the same time. with also helps its nice to be able to say somthing once and have 4-5 people hear it then to have to make a bunch of phone calls.
