What about those TriSquare radios? I know TriSquare is toast, but was
the technology any good?


The technology used in the TriSquare is the same as found in the
iDen/ISM Nextel Cellphones when used in direcTalk Mode... They used the
same Motorola chipset. These Phones are available on eBay for DIRT CHEAP
($10US or less each) They are Part15 Devices and ARE SECURE Comms with
about the same range as FRS Radios. They are 902-928 Mhz Spread Spectrum
Radios... and if you are a Tech Class or Higher Ham, you can boost
Output Power up to 10 Watts, and patch in any External Antennas you like.
