Probably going to get a set of radios while SWMBO and I are out running around this week and am undecided if I want this add on or not. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
We looked @ some that came w/ the ear buds & sat in craddles for charging along w/ battery back up but we didn't want to spend that much on them [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] the ones we did get were marked down from $119 to $29.99 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] so that's why I got them!!! They do have a plug in for mic, chrg or speaker I just seen, another cool little addition is they have a little flashlight built right in!! they came w/ belt clips they are audiovox modle # GMRS1262 I also see on the bottom of them that they have the little metal charging pieces on them so looks as though they could be charged on a charger also??? Not for sure though [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] Got them @ Big 5
Sounds like I better run down to the Big 5 and see if they have any in stock. Thanks DM. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
NO prob, the ones that came w/ earbuds, chargers were $149 I think or $119 for 2 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
DM I think you got the deal of the week. The GMRS1262 like you bought were not supposed to be on sale according to the manager of the local Big 5. The ones they have on sale are the GMRS862CH. The original price tag is $119.99 and on sale for $29.99 just as you stated. You must have found a set that had been improperly marked. The range on the 862 is 8 miles rather than the 12 miles yours have.

Even with the reduced range I bought three sets of these for the kids over at the farm. May use one set for awhile just to see how much I would use these radios.

You got a really good deal!

Edit: Looked on the Big 5 web site and all the stores in the area are advertising the 8 mile unit. I may be taking these back however because for dang little extra I can get a much better radio at Fry's. Your 12 mile unit has a lot more features.

They make accessory mike and earphones for the FRS/GMRS radios (I have 4 of them). I have the lapel mikes but I remember there being a boom set up for them too.

Yeh, I've seen the boom mics and the kind that mount in the closed face helmets. I'm just wondering if anyone has found them to be a practical and often used accessory or one of those trick things that end up in a drawer somewhere. Got enough unjused junk around already.
