If you get a Maplins propa one make sure it's got the same frequencies as the ESC Argos cheapy ones.
Otherwise you will only have yourself to talk to.And when we say we are stopping for fuel you won't know

Or is that your master plan.

I bought some in the US - I think 5 mile range. The only thing is they operate on the coastguard band here, but as I'm in the midlands I doubt it will be a problem

If you intend to mainly use them to communicate with the keeper of the other handset, then I would go for the ones with lots and lots of channels. This will hopefully stop you having to listen to the ESC all day long :P

I have to ring 20 numbers & repeat the same message 20 times.
Unless I could get them all on "conference call".
Moby is ok for one to one,not so good for one to twenty.
ESC convoys always go "large".
Also I think everyone has missed the point of the original question.Simon wanted to know what we are using already so he can buy compatable gear.He doesn't need to know that you can get stuff that has a ten billion mile signal radius & will knock out every emergency service radio within the county.Reminds me of the AM days.I'm going all misty eyed now.
