All, I am looking at purchasing a radio, either a CP100 or a VX261. I have been quoted a lower price for the VX. My question is, would the VX work as well for the following needs.
Radio will be in padded aluminum box attached to a go kart chassis or seat. It will be exposed to the elements. We race in the rain. Our races are 6-24 hours. The tracks we run are no more than 2/3 mile across.
The ONLY thing I need this radio to do is transmit and receive on a few different freqs. Don't need any of the amazing bells and whistles that are offered on these radios for their more traditional business uses. I'm assuming (perhaps incorrectly?) that the CP100 is more expensive bc it has more features. Is that the case? And will the VX be as rugged as the 100?
I have my salesman's opinion. I am looking for a second opinion. Thank you!
