Hey everyone... 1. For FRS (family radio service... talkabouts are the same thing), doesn't matter what brand, model, price you pay for them. They ALL only transmit with 0.5 watts of power on the 14 channels. You can completely ignore any of the claims of "22, 25, 40 gazilliion miles" range. It's al...

[quote="Rusted Iron"]I didn't think that official-types used walkie talkies or their frequency, but last year, while trying to communicate with someone who was trying to find our camp, first night, in the dark, we were told to get off of the airport channel! I want to avoid that again.[/quote] We (t...

Ok... enough of the wild speculations (not to bash on those that tried to provide information... I just know the facts because I used to work on this stuff). Airpeak was never a reseller. They were an independent iDEN provider based out of Reno that was in competition locally w/ Sprint. All Sprint h...
