Two Way Radio\'s
Well, I did a search and came up with nothing so here goes:
I am considering a set of FRS or GMRS two way radio's for our operation and I'd like some input as to what is good and what isn't. Our terrain is mostly flat, very rural and the farthest I'd have to communicate would be around 5 miles.
I'd like to have some type of base station at the farmhouse and a mobile in each tractor. I'd like to be able to power the mobil's with the cigarette lighter in the tractors but I'd also like to take it with me when I am walking a field, in my pocket or on my belt.
Another consideration is having NOAA weather radio available on the two way.
I'm sure somebody out there can give me some input based on their experiences.
We have Nextel here but the service is real spotty. I got rid of the Nextel because of that.
