2 way radio

[andym]

I've been trawling the net trying to find somewhere local to buy 2 way radios with headsets, but I'm not having much luck, somewhere near Chepstow, although I don't mind going a few miles past Bristol and surrounding areas

I was wondering if anyone would be able to offer some advice.

Since these are going to be useless after next week I'm not wanting to spend a fortune on them, preferrably not much more than £30, or at least something that will hold its value for selling on

I've seen some in argos from about £13 but they don't have any of them in stock and none of them say about headsets being included.

Anyway any help here would be appreciated.

I may have to go out and about rather than looking online.

had a look on maplin MarJay, those radios looked like they are about £80 each...

You should be able to find some Cobra MT975 locally if you phone round

Before you waste any money, Read This:-
Bike 2 Bike Communication.... where to start

£30 will just about get you ONE half reasonable helmet headset, in high street store (maplins) let alone two headsets AND radios to go with them!

Cheapo PMR's with 'hands free' headsets, dont have much range, tend to have poor reception, AWFUL voice activation, and the 99p headsets that come with them 'free' tend not be be brilliant either in the mic or speaker, and NOT designed to be worn under a helmet, damned uncomfortable... you have button pressing into your eardrum, hook cutting into your earlobe, and a mini mic stuck up a nostril!

'Entry' level PMR based bike 2 bike starts at about £50 a radio, with the Oxford Bike2Bike system... and go up from there, with 'good' bike 3 bike sets more likely around £100 a rider set.

We looked into cheap ones, but you don't get a decent range. We bought these

12km range, which is about 7 miles, so if you're going through built up areas or "hilly" places like the lakes you wont lose signal
And it comes complete with everything you need for 2 bikes!
