Ok, I've read the couple of forums on that people have used FRS radio's to communicate, but I was looking to an opinion as to "what would you do?" I have a set of old two-way radios (UHF) that work fine except that they are around 6 years old and the rechargeable batteries do not hold a charge any more. I've found a website that I can get the 5 batteries for them for around $200 bucks. I've been debating that it may be better to update the radio's and get FRS radios with privacy settings, of which I have found that I can get 4-5 with rechargeable bases for around the same price. Even looking towards getting a set with weather function built in (we are in the tornado alley, so it would be nice to have the heads up)....
So, the question I'm wondering is what would be the better thing to do? Replace the batteries or get new FRS radio's?
Also, if there is a FRS radio that someone loves... works well... please feel free to share...
Just in case it might be asked, the radio's need about 500-1,000ft range. Last for around 4 hours... Rechargeable batteries... and be private, though the theatre is in the middle of no where, so interfearence from other parties using them shouldn't be a issue...
