Next question.... hello? ..come in ?......

so far thanx to everyone for their help and advice regarding me and buying a tube. now the next question is about radios. which ones do you guys prefer and why? are there common frequencies amongst the brands? waterproofness? headsets? I have used a number of brands and like the motorolas overall except for their Vox has a bit of a delay that you have to learn to use.

I don't use a radio but I have thought about it. It will be interesting to see where this thread will go. I shall sit back and absorb...

im not sure i understand the question. why cant you use a ipod or something? or a boom box type radio? never seen a radio on a tube cuz most guys like the quite but you could use a radio if you want.

Walky Talkies good buddy!

bassgeek you funny buddy

I dont think any of us really use them. If we like each other we fish near each other close enough to yell at. If we dont we just kinda drift away with the current

I have always wanted to use them good way to stay in contact but cover more ground in a group.

hmmm think I just found out why I am floating alone at our get togeathers

I don't usually use radios in the harbors since most are within yelling distance but I do like to use them in the Sierras where sometimes wind and terrain make it hard to talk/yell to eachother.

Radio... who needs a radio...! Ready Harry??? Mock.. ya.. ing.. yah.. bird.. yah..

You want to hear the most anouying sound in the works AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
That kind of loses something when you type it out.

Hmmmmm, ..... never mind

Hey bodfish I think radios are a great idea, just dont have the money to do it right at this time.

Hey Jeff knows what my quote is from !! Sweet!

Okay sorry to have gotten off topic. I do not see a use for any ship to shore or hand held radios while tubing. Most stay together close enough to talk and or to hollar at each other. If we are too far apart, we can call each other. We are always tubing not too far from structure ie: boats, docks, etc. In the event of an emergency, you can usually get to a dock or boat or shoreline pretty fast. If you are talking about all of us having a communicating radio to each other, its a fun idea. I'm sure we can if everyone wants to get one. Hope this answers your question some what.

I would be in on this might be fun, the headset type of radio would be the way to go.

i got a cheap pair of radios and as long as they stay dry they work just fine i use them when caravaning trips but i was telling my buddy if we should use they to find fish like he goes one way and i the other and when we start hit the fash we call each other but i also carry my cell phone in a waterproof box and it has an app for a 2 way radio but i can bring them and if anyone want to try this out i am game
