Hand Held Radio
Posted: Mon Mar 10, 2014 11:10 am
Hey guys, my birthday is coming up and no doubt the old chook is gonna throw some cash my way so what better way to spend it than on more toys. Anyone recommend a good hand held which they use on trips. I've been told that 5W is the way to go but all research so far has shown that they only come with the built in rechargeable battery. I was hoping for a unit with rechargeable AA batteries, that way you can always carry spares. The built in ones like all devices seem to die or fail to hold charge over time so I'm reluctant to go down that path. Any recommendations or brands to stay clear of? So far the front runners are Oricom and GME.

I belive the Oricom is a better brand but the GME does come with more water proof options.
