Smile CB radios for runs out in scoobs

One thing i have found with the runs we go out on in the scoobs is comunication between cars can be a problem at times, i've been looking at cb radios and have come up with a possible solution if people are interested.

We have tried the small dual radio packs you can get with not a great deal of sucess. In short i have a spoken to a company and have found a suitable radio.

Heres the good bit,

The radio is a kenwood TK3101 (no licence required), they are priced around the £200 mark, however i can get hold of fully working (there the ones i use at paintball, they are all being replaced by later model) second hand ones, some of them are a bit battered but they are all functional, there are aprox 30-40 for sale (complete with fast chargers) and should be going for about £60 depending on if i can get the price down anymore and condition.

Would there be anyone interested?

thats the one mate,

they have 15 channels mate.

as mentioned they are second hand, some have belt clips some don't, some are more battered than others

very very ruged, they spend each working day out in the forrest area and still work so they can take a pounding no probs.
