earpeice and voice activation for use in fugitive recovery.

Unless you plan to have every single one of your team members get
their amateur radio license, or you have authorization from a public
safety agency to use their frequencie(s), I would suggest FRS radios.

With that said: I don't believe that Motorola is a good choice
right now. Overpriced, bad support after the sale, and steadily-
declining quality in terms of getting spare parts. They also sold off
their major service depot to another company, who promptly relocated it
to Guadalajara.

I would, assuming the proper licensing, suggest you have a look at
Kenwood, M/A-Com, or Icom.

Happy hunting.

I suspect that unless the fugitive hunting is done as a charitable
event, that Amateur radio wouldn't be allowable as a useage anyhow.

I envision that you would want GMRS radios, and probably would want to
use a repeater for reliability. I don't know if mobile repeaters are
allowed, but would allow you to put an antenna up a little higher on say
a Van, then transmit with a little more power to the "satellite radios
carried by the bounty hunters.
