10-4 good bud.

We use either Motorola GM300's or proper nokia radios fitted in the cars

Over a short range they would work ok but you have no privacy

MrsFrog and I have two little motorola two-way radios, only Ł30 odd, very useful at shows and on the road (although probably not legal as they are not hands free).
Approx. 3 mile range apparently

No privacy as said above, at the devon RS show, someone asked over the radio if I wanted a drink, so I replied saying yes please, coffee.... I thought I was talking to spiky.

It was a complete stranger though

Then spiky took the radio and started telling all he was the only gay in the village

They are cool, and would certainly help with mobile phone costs.

Myself and baz and phil (the FS lot going) have walkie talkies we got from halford for Ł20 a pair. They have been great for the conmvoys and things, not great for long distance, but do the job I think they are the same as them

I have an NTL 2 way thingy, always use it when out with the boys on roadtrips!

If I can find my iTrip FM transmittor thing for the mpio I want to plug it into the handfree on the 2-way and take over Radio 2
