UHF VHF How to communicate

[BigfishCanada]

Hey Im so sick and tired of the walkie talkies(Usless) What would you suggest me and my brother in law get to communicate when in the bush, I was thinking of a fixed UHF in my 4x4?? Someone said some can make cell calls?

Any suggestions

Go to your local communicatoins store and buy two way radios with Lad 1 and Lad 2 channels ,its like having telephones

8 channel (or bigger) two way radios. Icom make some good ones at around $300/unit. range 8-10 km

I've used a Kenwood TK-270 portable for over 15 years. It is 32 channels and is field programmable (very easy). This model is is no longer made, but you can find used ones on e-bay.

I have a couple of Motorola P1225 2 channel's I'd let go for cheap......They could both use batteries but those are cheap online

You don't want a UHF for the truck you want a VHF.

If you hunting spots are not far out of cell range you might want to consider one of these cell phone booster kits https://www.smoothtalker.com/

They are fairly expensive around 500 bucks if I remember correctly but it boosts cell range quite a bit allowing you to text or make calls where you would normally not be able to do so.

I have one and some of our hunting spots are outside of cell range and using the kit I have been able to get cell service make calls and keep in touch with the family where I never used to be able to.

I would not recommend this for areas that are very far into the bush as the system does have limitations. It also mostly vehicle based.
