Two-way Radios

I'm thinking about investing a pair but have no clue about these gadgets. Can anyone recommend one that works pretty good while in sea and what should I look for? Thanks for your help.:confused:

Thanks! I appreciate not being "flamed" about my question since I just searched it and found LOTS of posting regarding the same so I'll check there too!

Another place to find them is a sporting goods store. It's almost hunting season so they are probably on sale. You can find a good set for under $30. My wife and I used them on both our cruises, and are taking them on our third. Good Luck and have fun!!

I'm also looking for some two-way radios and found some that are FRS and have a good coverage area. I don't know what FRS stands for, but there are a lot of them on EBay that look pretty good for about $70 with shipping.

We already have some because we take them to Wyoming when we get out in the middle of nowhere and need to keep in touch with everybody but I would definitely agree with the idea to try a sporting goods store like Scheel's, Cabelas, etc... They should have a good variety and would probably be able to give you a recommendation as far as what you need. From what I understand from reading on the boards about using them (taking them this time but didn't last time), you should get as many channels as you can in case there are a lot of people using them onboard.
