Re: Communications Preparations
Any recommendations for a simple to operate FRS radio, preferably one that is at least rain resistant?
I have no interest in learning about HAM or messing with any licenses, just want a simple to operate, essentially push to talk system that I can use to communicate with neighbors within a several block suburban area.

Re: Communications Preparations
Thanks for the starting points... I'm so new I have just been looking at the wiki pages on FRS and MURS.
Do some of these radios have ONLY FRS or MURS channels? I do not want to worry about at all about transmitting without a license. I have noticed from reading reviews that some people are saying that some of these radios advertised as such can still go on frequencies requiring licensure.

Re: Communications Preparations
I have two models of radios. I have two Garmin Rino's, which operate on FRS and GMRS freqs and also have weather, gps and some mapping, more mapping can be purchased. The Rino's will transmit your coordinates to the other users so you can see where everyone else is. They are very expensive. I also have a Baofeng UV5R, which is a handheld that transmits on FRS, GMRS, MURS and some HAM freqs. They are cheap and through the CHIRP software you can program in the freqs you want to use and it would be tough for a user to transmit on a different freq than it's set up for. No license necessary.

Re: Communications Preparations
I really want the simplest, lowest common denominator radio at this point. I was looking at these thinking as I learned more I could upgrade in time.

Re: Communications Preparations
Anyone here in this thread have the ability to program a Motorola Radius CP200 4 channel HT by chance? Found 2 of them digging around in some old stuff in a shed someone had rented and wanted to get these up and running. Not sure if they're UHF or VHF, no charger or any other info about them.
