x3! Any outdoor gadget that is droppable I get in bright colors or put orange duck tape on. I've always used motorolas. Not sure of the exact type, but do like having wx channels with me on my radio.Quote:

Have fun!
PTMY, agreed. Got a set of Motorola's at Costco.com and been very happy!
Any recommendation on a water proof one. I have the set of motorolas minus one that fell out of my pocket into the water while setting up a test. I was surprised it died with only 3 seconds under water.
Ahh saw it on the second link .... nice.
FWIW, I've had good experience buying used radios from this seller. Have purchased 25 radios for personal and club use in the past month and all work A--OK

Costco had a couple of different motorola models for a pretty good price. I may pick up a few more next time I am there.
Thanks Jeff. This is still a good link.

X 2 for Midlands, good price from amazon.com, Motorolas are now in storage for emergency use onlyQuote:
