I have Cobras that I've used since '01. They seems to be a good product, as
well as Motorola and Midland. In hunting for new radios now, it seemed the
Motorolas were overpriced for what you get, though.
The standard FRS radios work fine in a caravan (I believe they are less than
a watt, though). I would highly recommend going with an FRS/GMRS radio, as
you get more channels, more power on certain channels, for not much more
money.
FWIW, I wanted FRS/GMRS radios with rechargeable batteries, both a car and
home charger, and headsets. I got these Midlands:

for $80 delivered. This is pretty much top-of-the-line for what you can get.
Or, send me $5 for shipping and you can have my old FRS Cobras for FREE!!

Subject: [Shotimes] radios for convention
I'm looking for a pair of FRS/GMRS radios to use for the convention. Any
brands or models either to prefer or to avoid? Is a 1-watt radio enough for
convoy duty?
