[quote] i've been looking into these thingies, and a good choice (obviously requiring some mods) might be the Motorola Talk About Distance.  it has a five mile range.  you might be expected to have an amateur license to use it (easy to get, if you decide to play fair), but not to buy it...   _pete   = ===========  Anybody out here has any recommendation on purchasing 2-way radios? I am looking for something with rugged body and extended range (at least 2 miles). Brands? Thanks, pete@...

The TalkAbout Distance does not have the capability to use repeaters, which rules it out in my opinion. GMRS radios (like this one) require a GMRS license - different from a ham ticket. Info is at http://www.gmrsweb.com

i guess it depends on what you want it for. most people don't wish to communicate with anyone more than 5 miles or so away while on their bike. -----Original Message----- From: richardm@...

Just don't run that synthetic oil until well after the motor is broken in, and you have several thousand miles on it.   Jeff
