walky-talky recs?

RW, do you remember which models worked for you in canyons? Just
trying to figure if I need to aim for the highest powered models (10 or
12 miles), or what...

Thanks for the feedback.

I don't remember. My walky-talkies are in my camper right now, which is
in Boise, where it's getting some repairs.

I'm leaving tomorrow to pick it up on my way (actually, out-of-the-way)
to the Western Clave.

RW,
Do you know if cell phones work near the Slide Inn? Verizon? Unfortunately,
work goes on... I did pick up a couple of walky-talkies at Radio Shack -
Hope they work.

Dunno. I've never owned a cell phone.

Cell phone service has finally come to Stanley, Idaho this year. I see
people using them everywhere, and not just tourists. It annoys me, but I
know I'm not justified in being annoyed. They aren't really hurting me.
Still, I don't like it.

Is there an agreed upon channel for the clave? I don't recall what was used
last year.

IIRC, AFAICR, and TTBOMM, it was channel 11 subchannel 0.

What we used last year wasn't a very good choice. It was VERY popular
and we kept getting other peoples' messages.

I thought that was fun. :-)

Yeah it was entertaining, but not so good if you're trying to communicate.

If you have the ones that use the sub channels it's really easy to come up with
a quiet one. It even works at Whistler skiing.
