Hi Im considering buying a couple of 2-way radios for my wife and I. Has anyone out there purchased them? I would like to know what you think of them. Are they worth the money,reliable ect. I guess the big question is would you buy again?

Got mine at Radio Shack and yes, they have other uses, also.
One time we had to convoy several vehicles over 500 miles. They were a big help.

What exactly do wish to do with them? Do you wish to talk while riding? I have a permanant mount on my Voyager and a removable on my R*. Both work well. Reception distance will depend on set-up and antenna tuning. I have a J&M Audio-Pak for the R* which allows CB/intercom and additional sound source, for me voice guidance GPS. Thinking of switching to the permanant mount, for convience. Try www.Sierra-mc.com for some info. If you need more help e-mail me at: snoweyowl@comcast.net |

I think just short range communication. Would like to be able to tell her to turn left or right here, stop at other station for gas ect. Basic stuff to take the whats she going to do next out of riding with her.

Checked out Sierra Electronics and J&M for CB's their sites are not at all clear on the gear you will need. I suggest you give Seirra a call and tell them what you are looking to do. Ask them about a J&M Audio-Pak. They do not have them listed but might be able to help. I suggest for each bike a handheld CB with attached antenna and a basic helmet headset for voice communications. You could go with a handheld mike and an earplug but for safety I would not suggest this option. These will probally cost you $450- $550 for each bike.
