Dang buddy, that right there is UHF at it's finest!

I do wonder how easily it pairs with their walkies.

After making the above post I got to thinking about the power options on this radio. You can use the dynamo to recharge the power pack which is 4 aa batteries... Why couldn't you take a 4 aa battery holder from radioshack and attach the appropriate connection and be able to use the dynamo to recharge your own aa batteries?

Great find Tech and thanks again for helping me spend my pay!

Found these http://www.uniden.com/two-way-radios/two-submersiblefloating-50-mile-range-frsgmrs-radios-with-2-vox-headsets-and-2-carabiners/invt/gmr50892ckhsg/ at Bass Pro and decided to try them out.  Price is not bad around 80-100 dollars (depending on retailer) considering what you get.  There are a TON of features on these radios so MAKE SURE you read the directions if/when you get them.  Pairing with non privacy and other brand radios is good.  You  can set it where you can Tx/Rx with anyone on your freq, Tx to anyone but not Rx unless they are on your privacy code, or limit Tx/Rx all comms to just the people on your privacy code.  You can also set these up with up to 16 separate "names" in order to do a direct call to just that person.  Also has NOAA bands built in with optional NOAA alert setting.  They are also submersible, as long as the plug is in covering the headset port, so no swimming while using a headset.  That is just a sample of the stuff they do, like I said, a LOT of features.

Tested these out one clear night in a suburban area and they worked great for up to 3 miles through houses, trees and other stuff lol.  would have tested out farther but it was in the middle of the night and I was on foot at the time.
