Hi Folks:
Just remeniscing and old realistic CB walkie talkie I had. It
had the metal ground-straps on the side and it could talk 2.4 miles
(just measured on a map) with an S7. My Wife just picked up two
similar walkie-talkies at a yard sale for $5! I was wide-eyed at the
size of the thing! I remember when I was a kid wanting one of these
walkie-talkies so bad that I got the dimensions and made a cardboard
model to see 'how it felt holding one'! Wow! Thinking back! Anyone
ever routinely talk further on a CB walkie talkie?
The guy I use to talk to frequently in South Toms River was
Electro-Express. I - you guessed it - was Hydro! (hydrofoil) He'd
say, "The only walkie-talkie I know that'll talk that far is Hydro's".
I currently use a Johnson Messenger Viking. Yes, I know it's
2005.. ;-) This radio talks and sounds nice too!

Take Care!
