To DanJr.

I'm sure you were merely being sarcastic in this comment but it's comments
like those that give Amateur Radio Operators a bad name.
If I had an elmer like you, I'd be embarrassed to be anything more than a
CB'er.

To Wgrant,

As you have seen in earlier posts, HT's are probably not the best due to the
limitations on range. But, if GMRS is available in your area, it could be an
option. It does require a license however.

Not to justify anything that this other clown said, but an Amateur Radio
license and the use of HAM radio & repeaters you and your friend could
easily keep in touch not only just across town but across the globe using
many different types of radios and modes.

Please don't be discouraged by some of the "Dinosaurs" in Amateur radio who
frown upon those who don't conform to their idea of what Amateur Radio
should be like - as history is full of dinosaurs that wouldn't adapt.

Good luck and if you have more questions, PLEASE feel free to post them.

73'
Jim.

Hello!

I would like to buy a pair of "walkie talkies" to allow myself and
a friend to talk without incurring large cell phone bills.

We are on opposite sides of a town, about 3 to 4 miles apart (although
we will be moving closer soon - around 1 to 2 miles apart).

Please can you recommend a good product or range of products that will
work for this purpose?

Thanks!!
