Hi all,
I have read a couple of reviews on these new bubble pack radios. I currently have two Motorola MR350 radios and two Motorola T9500XLR radios which my family use for various things. I'm wondering if the new radios with thier waterproof design and newer technology would be a good addition or replacement for some of the older radios I have.
There seems to be a bit of an issue between the current radios I have. Quite a few times my kids have mentioned that I will send out a message to them, and one of the older radios will not pick up the signal/message. They only know this because they will hear a response back from one of the other radios and figure out that there must have been some other message that proceeded it. We normaly use the GMRS frequencies and transmit at the higher power. We are almost never more than 3 miles apart in the wilderness, so it isn't a matter of the signal not being powerful enough for one radio to pick up or things blocking the signals. It always seems like it is one of the older radios that has the issue. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Rob
