What two way radios do you use?
What two way radios do you use?
I had a Motorola T6400, lost if while antelope hunting a couple years ago. My dad and bro still have theres. I liked it because you could trun all the key beeps off.
I now have the Motorola T6510 radios, I like them except that I can not trun off the key beeps.
But I have been contemplating get some different ones, what do you guys prefer.
Also if any of you have a T6400 in good condition that you would be willing to part with let me know. I would like to get another one to replace the one I lost as well.

My dad and I use the Garmin Rhino's as well and wouldn't use anythign else now. We've had them for two seasons and are just way more convenient than anything else we have ever used. It's pretty much priceless to know exactly where the rest of your group is all the time. And not having to carry a separate unit for the radio and one for the GPS. Only problem is the batteries go dead after a long day of hunting, so rechargeable's are for sure the way to go. I'm sure they would last longer if you disabled the GPS function and jsut used them as radios but I figure it's there so I'm gonna use it. I just keep extra batteries in my bag (which I had to do with our old motorola radios anyways).
