WANTED: GMRS/FRS Radio/Walkie Talkie
Hey I am looking for a pack of GMRS radios, preferably with a rechargeable dock and a long range.
The best deal I found so far is @ Wal-Mart:
Should I get this deal, or no deal
Any other deals out there

I look up the XScargo website and they have some pretty good FRS radios for $20-$30 dollars
Do they have a Boxing Day Flyer (XSCARGO)

It all depends what you want these radios for. Those are junk personally. I have had about 6 brands and types so far, and we use them mostly for amusement parks when away on trips, and when the kids take off to the variety store a mile or 2 away.
The FRS is junk! I have 2 cobra models that were gmrs 2 watt and then upgraded to a 3 watt. The 3 watt was good. Also had a 3 watt pair of motorola's as well. I just sold them and purchased the latest out there,,,,, 5 watts of power and 14miles range. Midland gxt500 models.You cannot buy these in Canada yet. They probably will sell in excess of $125 when they arrive. I bought them off ebay brand new for $50 U.S including shipping. Extra $15 roughly if you want the charging kit and mics.
Best thing too,,, you never have other people on your channels. Reply With Quote

GMRS is 100 times better then FRS
the important thing as well is the power (wattage) most frs are pathetically underpowered and useless in a park etc,,,, as they lose there range when there is anything in the way,,,, Reply With Quote

For the price they are an excellent buy. In cities though you'll be hard pressed to reach a mile with these and most other GMRS radios. The NIMH rechargeable option is excellent for the price. I would buy if you wanted a pair of radios for that price. At the high end Cobra 3-watt radios (25km) with NIMH rechargeables go for $99 as comparison Reply With Quote

In reference to the person mentioning cobra 3 watt units,,, I just sold mine,,,, I bought them over a yr ago in the states for $35 U.S ,,, they are good but again,,,, no chance of 25km range,,,, more like 5-10 km max
I just picked up my new ones,, Midland GXT 500 which are the most powerful at 5 watts,,,, with a very long range,,,,, these are not even available in Canada right now,,,, but ebay has many at a price range of $40 and up depending if you want rechargers etc,,,, which I find are not needed Reply With Quote
