In the mailbox today ... I am not advocating nor endorsing these but Canadian Tire has them on sale 30May19 thru to 05Jun19

I use the ($400) Motorola 2-way which is not for everyone ... as I use it for Marine, Auto and for when Costco Shopping with the wife

 

[Jeffer2013]

Mine for 100 bucks do not go one half mile, if you buy don’t blame me they are junk, use them for setting wind flags at 200 yards and they are not clear at 200 yards and mine were good for 48kms. What a joke

 

[2009CGMZR1]

Ya, if some get two radios great. I wanna try something this year as there will be 25-30 cars looks like.

Make sure you get the ones that have a sub channel option.

We will be trying Zello or another app two way you download to your phone too.

Yes Jeff, they should NOT be allowed to advertise more then 1-2 km if that.

I purchased the Motorola 454's. A bit pricey but bought as an investment. Looking forward to trying out on this trip. I'm sure they will get a workout on the Bowling Green Caravan.

So far after all the thunderstorms we have had … not seeing any reports of major fires in our B.C. area.. hoping it stays like that for the month of june

 

[2009CGMZR1]

OK, I just went through the emails.

updated ... around 80% voted so far.
Roast Beef 10 votes
Ribs 16 votes
Menu 11 votes

about 10 never replied yet.

Now, I did say a 1/4 rack of ribs is small and said maybe to have an optional 1/4 addition... she said good idea.

Now, the options are still in the works... not sure if there is enough votes for a roast... will see what she says.

Everyone going on the cruise..... please download this app. ONLINE WALKIE TALKIE PRO

it will be a way to communicate will everyone even if your miles away. The reviews are ok... they have been improving it.

Paul and I tried it from Red Deer to Edmonton last year and it was decent ( the $300-400 ones don't have this range ) ..... if you switch from Global to Local there is no one on it from Canada

There is another one that starts with a "Z" yellow Ken T told me about but you have to add each person. Na, too much work. Need spelling of everyone's handle and so on.... na

We will be trying this one when we have cell service...... and two way radios when no cell service.


Download to have

3G in Hinton kinda sucks to LTE.... feels slow even though it is high speed.
