You mean something like a set of FRS radios? Or CB walkie talkies (or
regular mobile CBs)? Oh, wait, I think I just got what you mean...you
want to transmit so that the other person can hear you over the car
radio? There are several commercial made "wireless microphones" that
will transmit to broadcast FM receivers, available at Radio Shack no
doubt...(I'd still opt for the FRS radios)

Yes, that is what I was thinking. The legal LPFM, which does transmit
on conventional FM broadcast frequencies, has a tiny power output and
a maximum range of something like 1/4 mile, which is 15 seconds apart
at highway speeds. They make much more sense around your home, and out
into the yard. You would also have to retune as you travel, to work
around broadcast stations.

I think that FRS or CB would make much more sense, work better ,and be
easier to use.

Happy trails,
