FRS radios on Tybee

did you find anymore?
 
Damon, I can make the call on Monday, but I'm pretty sure I can get a few more.

FutureLanche, you have a PM :)
 
Where you you normally run the antenna wire to get it outside?
 
out the sunroof ;)

I'm working on something better, but right now it just goes out the sunroof or window. others just leave the antenna on the dash on the passenger side
 
Zuka?

I thought I was in line to receive one of these from the original shipment but never heard from you. Are these still available?

SB, Zuk is on a cruise for a few more days, I am sure he will respond when he gets back..

edited for the dreaded typo
 
I bought a pack of 2 Midland Camo 3-watt radios

If anyone needs to borrow one while there

I'm currently sourcing a location to get some of the Radio Shack 1850 FRS radios. For anyone that isnt familiar with this model, its the one that plugs into your cig lighter and has a "remote" antenna with a super strong magnet base. FRS radios are not legally supposed to have an "external" antenna, but these get around that law by having all the parts sync into the power plug. The antenna cord is plenty long so no worries with finding a place to stick it. These radios are excellent for any GTG, cruise or other vehicle to vehicle communication. Ask anyone that has one, they are fantastic, plus require no batteries (y) Also the clarity is really good, just ask Squatch ;)

So if you are interested, I am thinking about buying a case of them. These units have been discontinued by Radio Shack so supplies are pretty limited. Unit cost will be $30 with no s/h if you pick them up in Tybee. I don't mind shipping them if anyone is interested and you'll just have to pickup the actual shipping cost. Let me know if anyone is interested in these. I'll post a picture of the one I won at the ATL GTG when I get home tonight.

I was able to secure 20 of these radios, might be able to find more, however they are pretty hard to find these days.

yep you were on the list, have you down for one of the 20 I got (y) let me know if you still want it (assuming so)
 
BTW Zuk, Joe Pollick is still on the list. Don't know if he'll still want one since he isn't able to come. You might want to PM him & see what's shaking.

Cool,

So how do I pay? Unfortunately I cannot make this GTg so how would you like to receive payment. Send me an Im with the details so we can get this finalized.

Thanks a bunch

SB
 
hey Spacegator,

Got the PM, checking to see if there is one still available for ya will let you know later today for sure.

Guess I am confused....I have made several attempts to get info so that I can make payment yet I receive no pm's or response. I was on the original list but I guess that doesn't matter? I am SOL.

Thanks for nothing. :E:

THANKS ZUKRACER FOR OFFERING THIS DEAL ON THE RADIO!! (y)

I got my radio about a week after the STI II from Hug_R_AV, ( THANKS again - HUG!!!) (y)and I'm dieing to use it. (I really didn't get it for any other reason besides GTGs) When is 11 Dec? Man can't time speed up a little!! I will be able to use it at the Fantasy of Lights at Calloway Gardens near Columbus, GA.

See web site: Fantasy of Lights

Has anyone figured out where/how to run the antenna wire yet? Best location to mount the antenna base? Does anyone have any problems with the power cable to mic pulling out the the power socket when you stretch the wire to your mouth to speak?

Troy :B:
