    Haven't decided yet

    I figure after we have them we can scan channels to see which ones are the clearest

    What kind of range do CB's have? I am just looking for a general idea, I know it is unit specific.

    channel 9 is for if u need help and only have a CB with u, so then u can go to channel 9 and ask someone for help, cuz there is always a cop listening to that channel

    it's the emergency channel


    range, a properly tuned antenna, and a nice unit can reach miles.....and as subaru4 has demonstrated, if you just plug it in and hope, you'll be lucky to reach across the street

    the weather has to be good for it to at the most reach 1/4 of a mile at the most if it isnt tuned.

    Sounds like a 10 mile range walkie talkie would be just as reliable?

    Not really. Walkie talkies of the FRS variety don't work very well at that range. Or at least that is what I have seen. If you want one that will be reliable at that range you'll spend alot more than what a CB radio will cost you.

    We may require a training session so the n00bs such as I can get it to work properly.

    Not a problem. I'll go over proper radio etiquette and we can tune them when we all get them installed. Maybe spend an hour during a Firestone meet discussing it.

    I'd like to give it one more week if possible to gather up any stragglers. If you guys want, you can deliver the money to me on Friday. I wont be there very long, probably from 8-8:30pm. Not for sure on that one yet though. But I would like to collect the money this weekend so I can get the order in.

    I don't know if I said this yet, but I'm not going to be paying for anyone's radios unless I have the money first. If you need to, you can paypal me the money. [email protected] is the paypal address. Please PM me or email me to inform me that you have done a paypal payment. Just so I know. I currently have payment from two people. I'm waiting on the rest of you. I'll update the first post.

    32 dollars. I take cash Friday at Firestone, or I'll take Paypal, but there will be a Paypal fee. If you Paypal me, just paypal me 33 dollars. I'll be at Firestone for a few hours to talk. Then I'll probably jet.

    driftin240 and AWDL are good for it, and I see that Fong wants to lay down some cash, just needs to know when I'll be at t3h yu0r FS again. So that leaves asiandude. I haven't heard from asiandude, so as soon as Fong, Erik and Brian pay up, I'll order them. If you guys want, you can paypal me, just add a buck to cover paypal fees. So it would be 33 bucks a piece...payable to [email protected]. As soon as I have your three payments, I'll order them.

    YA RLY!

    OK, I have everyone's money. I guess I should have updated this weekend but I didn't feel like it.

    I unfortunately have to wait for the money to hit my checking account...3-4 business days (Thank you Paypal.) Once that happens, I will order them up. Probably this coming weekend if all goes well and the money hits my checking account on Friday. If not, they will get ordered possibly on Monday.

    I'll keep you all posted.

    Radios were purchased this morning, Sunday, March 05. They show an est. delivery time of March 17-20. I'll keep you updated as I hear from them. The delivery date might change. Once I know a definate date of delivery, I'll let you all know and then I'll deliver them to Firestone whenever its convenient for you. Probably just keep them in the trunk of my car until they are all picked up.
