Pac8541 Report post Posted December 9, 2018 Thank you man, I've been looking at one of the Midland radios. Hard to find ones that don't get bad-horrible reviews accompanied by legitimate reasoning. Anyone heard of Retevis radios? The RT5 seems to be a pretty good one... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coach Report post Posted December 9, 2018 Just watch out for those Motorolla radios that have the stupid "roger beep" that you can't turn off. I've seen more than one stalk ruined because of that feature. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
