Anyone else bringing some more two-way Radios with Fresh batteries? We could use a few more, Let's see: Dam to Lodge, Lodge to Dragon(Maybe?),1st Xfire to Last Xfire in each Run Group?
Never used them before, any words of advice, other than Push & Talk? SF

I was a ROMAD in a previous life, and I know an old Marine commo sargent can handle these!
I would like to meet the CCT guy who was on this thread earlier. Do you know who I'm talking about?
I looked back-Coyote!

i have one that i'll bring - if you are talking frs/gmrs. what i know about these is that they aren't that good in moving cars. there will need to be a relay system if the front wants to talk to the back - especially in the mountains. that 12 mile range is in perfect conditions. anyways, the more the merrier. they are really cheap nowadays so it would be great if everyone could get one.

Irwin - sorry to hear about your wreck, but glad to hear that you are OK.
Hope you can salvage most of the mods that you put into your Crossfire.
I hope all goes well with the insurance guys and you can come in your new ride in the spring.
