What about CB radios? You can get them in handheld or make quick mount for them in the truck

Range is my main hang up. Plus unless your mounted to the roof, it will vary where your deadzone will be.

Oh, and Jason, I will bring you some ribs up. Oklahoma Joes ok?

Awesome, thank you very much!!

Sure I don't think I ever had them from Oklahoma Joes. I lived in Warrensburg and would eat Perry Foster's. Also tried about a dozen differnt places in the greater KC area but I can't remember the names of any of them.

 

[Allied Offroad]

Yeah Oklahoma joes is probably the best.

CB is also a totally different Freq than VHF. I think there are a couple radios that will do both but you have to have two different antenna. VHF is the way to go for our applications.

Part of me wants a truck mounted VHF but the fact that you can walk around and still talk might be key to this trip. As I could stop the truck get out and still point out hazards and stuff.

 

[MTUH3]

Yes, they are different frequencies, I have used CBs for years on my offroad trips without too many issues. Up to 20 trucks spread out on Drummond. But doesn't matter to me what radios we use

I like Trey's idea of the hand held radio, but in reading about them they are for commercial use and require an FCC license.

I think as long as you stay on civilian freqs your ok. That's why they need to be programmed.

Wouxun KG-UV6X Dual Band VHF/UHF 200 Channel Handheld Commercial Radio [KG-UV6X] - $174.99

I think this is what Trey is referencing to in regarding the radio…

So he would program it to a civilian (non-commercial) frequencies? Would those be the same frequency that the typical Motorola two way radio walkie talkies are on?

i have no idea what 2 ways work off, but the benefit of a radio like What Treys hooking us up with, is that we can use different channels to speak to one another as opposed to having a whole bunch of chatter. but im pretty sure what a 2-way works off of is a locked channel
