Hello Doctor Death:

Yeah a little Spam of selling radio stuff ain't too bad.

The VHF Hand Held Radios really work great, as compared to the FRS UHF 1/2
watt crap that is sold everywhere.

I went Quail Hunting with a few guys, and we all dialed in 146.52 MHz the
2 meter national calling simplex frequency. Man that worked great. There
where guys that tried the UHF FRS hand held radios and they didn't work as
well as did the VHF Hand Held Radios.

We even had a local break in, and tell us where the good Quail Hunting
was, and what to look for. We invited him over to our camp for a few
social cocktails and dinner. A good time was had. The local couldn't
believe we made contact at ten miles on extreme low power. Must had a
straight shot!

Yeah even on Extreme Low Power the VHF Hand Held Radios worked way better
than the FRS UHF Radios.

Hello DrDeath:

Yeah the VHF hand held radios are way better call than those cheap ****
communist FRS Toy type hand held radios.

Last hunting trip one of the guys set up a VHF Base Antenna on a 30 foot
mast, and we talked all over the place, on simplex 146.52 Mhz.

We have more Quail then should be legal I think.

I go hunting up around and near Granite Mountains. Running out of home
plate Barstow California, on highway 40, getting off at Kelbaker Road,
and heading north about 10 miles, theres usually a few who get there
early and can radio ya in, if their not all liquirored up!

Its pretty desolate out there, so if ya want to have something ya have
to bring it.

Its good exercise and keeps ya on your toes. One of the guys shot a
Quail, and a Hawk picked it up before anyone could gather any thoughts
about it. Pretty impressive.

Jay in the Great Mojave Desert, ....just down the road ah ways from the
fillin station.

A more things to know about the VHF Hand Held Radios:

Get a set of extra batteries, get the 12 volt charger cord, and ear
piece / boom mic's. I didn't have the ear piece / Boom mic giznostic
accessory do dad, so I had to take the radio out of my pocket to use it.
Not good when hunting and trying to sneak up on illusive Birds that know
when your coming.
