Not to thread jack, but... does anyone know a decent 2 way that will work well for communicating at the Dragon this year?

Does direct connect work when there is no cell service? Didn't think so...

DeePStr33tzOfTn · 04-03-2008, 05:09 PM

any 2 way radios. go to walmart, i found some cobra ones for 40 bucks.. 16 mile range.. thats pretty much the only way u can communicate, and radios are great for exhaust shoots and whatever else we get into.

sorry to burst your bubble but i have verizon and i had to drive to robbinsville to get signal.. kinda sucked when i wanted to talk to my girl i had to drive a good ways to use my damn phone. everyone better buy some 2 way radios!

I had a verizon and cingular cell phone there and they both had to be taken to robbinsville to work. The 40 dollar cobra 2-ways worked well. I have 2 of those. On the dragon, they give you about 3/4-1 mile of signal. Nextel will not work.

DeePStr33tzOfTn · 04-04-2008, 12:30 AM

yeah i think they are 43.99, i'm gonna pick some up. yeah we had 2 ways last year and civic_pride and myself kept going out of the range to talk. guess thats why.
