I would need a Walkie Talkie soon, any recommendations and any thing to look out for when buying one? please advise! Thanks!

all pmr's are pretty good, if you can, try find one that doesnt go "BEEP BEEP BEEP" when you cease transmision, if ur in the feild and all the enemy can hear is the enemy going beep beep beep it's a bit harder for you lol.

Thanks, Any brands to recommend? Is there any pics! please post pics too! Thanks! I am buying for Civilian use but it is best if it is comparable to military types!

Funny you should say that.I know someone who's used his mobile(cell phone) in a combat theatre because the radio he was issued with was so crap.
