Mea Culpa, Jack
I went back and read your post again. I realize that I gave it a negative slant that wasn't there.
Diver's one line barb on the other hand, is pretty dumb, and inaccurate in what it is trying to convey. If Dumpster Diver wants to talk about Murder
specifically, the statistics I saw years ago indicated that less than 50 % of homicides resulted in an arrest. Of those arrested, less than 50 % go
to trial and of those tried, less than 50 % result in convictions. So, when someone says you can't get away with murder, they're full of CACA. The
odds are on your side. I can attest to that and so can OJ. There are, of course, some real Dummies. Scotty would fit into that category.

Bill, Bill, Bill....
?"Dumpster Diver"?
So what was I actually trying to convey ?
Obviously nothing you imagined !
You sure are quick to insult. Maybe I'll get and apology too after you re-think. No way my comment deserved that line of cr-p.
Defending your personal right to brake the law ?
Or maybe you really believe that many wrongs make a right ??
You know how many people I know who've done illegal things, said "I'll never get caught" and were so totally amazed when their butts were arrested.
I hope you never get caught but ..... well, then again; VHF in Walmart ?

Radio Walmart
The VHF FRS radios I have eat AAA Batteries too fast.
The Cobra Marines work a lot better. We use Chnl 72 (ship to ship). So far, no FCC DFing in Yucca Valley or Palm Desert. At least I don't think
so.

MIDLAND FRS-GMRS radios use 4 AA batteries, which will last a week, or more, with the radio on 8 hours a day----or you can use NM hydride rechargable
AA batteries and never have to purchase batteries. They are 4 watt, but you can pay a little more and get 5 watt is you want.
They can be bought at "The Sportsman's Guide" for about $25 each on sale, and they work great. (at least they were available about 2 months ago)
I am so convinced of the quality of MIDLAND that, yes, I do own the stock.

the technology is from the dinosaur age....
everyone has cell and sat phones now...
and of course the internet with instant messaging and video hook-up...
the government doesn't care about VHF or FRS or CB's
i'll bet no one ever questions mr. bill...
remember you guys are adventurers...
who else goes where there are no cells and no electricty?

Maybe so, B & S-----
-----but the little handi-talkies sure come in handy for talking car to car, or person to person when overseas and none of our cell phones seem to
work. We use our little handi-talkies more than our cell phones even here in the USA when talking person to person in stores, in 2+ cars, or on
hikes, etc.. I guess it is just all in what you are comfortable with, and are willing to pay for. (Conversations on handi-talkies are free)

BUT..........
Since I already OWN the Cobra 2.5 Watt Marine VHF why should I buy additional radios ? Should the canales ever become crowded in YV, perhaps I'll
change. That's really likely, isn't it ?
