My mates and I have Baofeng BF888s radios. They operate in the PMR446 band, but are technically illegal as they knock out 5W instead of the permitted 0.5W. There is, in reality, zero chance of getting busted though, so the only practical consequence of this is that you have better range. You can get them for £15/pair at Aliexpress:

We've all got different headsets, mine is like this (about £20), with a PTT button I can velcro to the bars. As long as we are all on the same channel we can all converse.

The radio is tiny and fits in my jacket pocket. The battery life on these little sets is excellent, transmitting is what hammers it so as long as you're not blathering away endlessly they will last all day. As far as the sat nav goes, if we're not all carrying then whoever is can shout directions over the radio. Basic, for sure, but it's certainly cheap and very effective. |

Radio and Bluetooth is free to broadcast.
I will not be using my free mins to ride around doing bike training. |
Even my bottom of the shit-heap sim only deal (about 8 quid a month) gives me unlimited calls, although if I do more than 100 mins a month I'd be surprised. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750
