"They have 3 aaa batteries. I will bring it to the cleanup run and you can try it out."
Sounds good...see you then...

I am at the bottom end of the FRS spectrum, I have the cheapest handhelds in a phone holder on a GoPro mount. They're actually made for kids, so they can get wet, dropped, whatever. Works great for the amount I use it, which is usually a few group runs a year.
The radios I use are supposedly waterproof and float. Not a feature I specifically looked for, but nice to know when I take the kids kayaking.
I ended up installing this GMRS radio in my Jeep. I'll be giving it a thorough test this weekend.

I also have this pair of handhelds.

A question - For a mounted radio, what do folks think of the handset control / display style vs. conventional handset / radio face control / display?
I have never used an "all inclusive" handset controls style radio and I'm thinking of going in that direction.
Handset control & display: MXT275VP4 MicroMobile
Conventional: MXT400VP3 MicroMobile
I used a Cobra CB that was mostly all in the handset (everything except for the power supply). Never had any issue with it. It's handy to have everything right there although I rarely made adjustments except when turning it on initially.
