Walkie Talkies/2-way radio.. recommend me something.

[LineSkiCat14]

Need a set of Walkie Talkies/2-way radio for use in the mountains, between two groups of people. Needs medium to long range, but doesn't have to be some extreme range.

Need to be durable in bad weather/storm conditions. Not necessarily waterproof, but need to hold up in condensation and also extremely cold temperatures.

Need to be expandable. I need to be able to add more units if need be, potentially up to 4. I'm not sure how this works, so excuse me if that's a silly request.

Any ideas? What specifics should I look for? What Brands are solid?

Two Campbell soup cans connected by optic fiber. Welcome to the future my friend.

Those are nice, but I don't think they're expandable.

Wait for nano fiber coated with grapene. All you'll need is two soup cans wireless

That tech is still years away, at this point. The man specifically asked for EXPANDABLE walkie talkies and you offer up some crap like this? You need to take message boards more seriously, bro.

Hey, MLK was a dreamer.... Let me live in the future man...

Graphene is already getting dirt cheap

Just FYI when you go to Dick's or wherever to buy them..."2-way Radio" is the preferred nomenclature here.

"Walkie Talkies" is an archaic microaggression. Use that term and your privilege will most assuredly be checked by the sales person.

I don't know who's telling the truth!

Dicks.. all of you.

 

[argubs2]

Let me rephrase that.....the sales person might not check your privilege.

They might instead take the box back to the employee restroom where Steve will wipe the face plate and antenna on his ******* and repackage the devices.

I'd pray for a privilege check because he doesn't shower often.

 

[funKYcat75]

Sure, if you want to lose bandwidth.

 

[argubs2]

Have you thought about taking everyone to yodeling classes before the trip?

This could be cheaper.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Ha, not with the snow on the ground. Can't imagine yodeling works with 3 feet of pow. But will be in a back bowl so maybe.

What about using thicker gauge string?

The only thick things around here are your and Willy's suggestions.

You tell'em Cujo.

Back in Nicholasville, they use to call me Honest Willy, who coincidentally is considered to be the most honest person from Jessamine County. Willy Estes was his name.
