I have a pair of Motorola family channel walkie talkies, but only one of them works. Sort of like the sound of one hand clapping.

Well I am glad i brought back a few memories to you guys. Have not had the chance to wire it up this morning was too much of a mad dash to the whale watch place.
Bart trust me i could write a thesis on radio transmission and SWR and ground planes etc. LOL if only you knew the things i have been up to in the past. Have to dig out some old pics sometime.
Try tuning a 1KW Racal transceiver that has been mounted in an old landrover ambulance truck and fitted with pump up clark mast and dummy load. Wanna see sparks fly and fluorescent tubes light up.
I still have a huge list to catch up. Still got to get me some reenactment gear. I would like to build one of them Kentucky Rifle kits and fire it, someday. Frank Fusco you listening. Have to get the rules necessary for Canada first but working at it. My list goes on an on.
I used to use the CB a lot on the highway. Even if I wasn't talking, there was stuff to be learned by listening. I have no idea how active the airwaves are these days.
Yeah Chuck you dead right that's what I am finding out. I guess my title says it all. Late to the party again. Will see what its like on the way home. Only thing is with cell phones you can only yak to people you know. Some might enjoy yaking to new people. I hope so or I am gonna get it in the neck from Linda. However I sold it as an emergency tool. Fat lot of good in an emergency if no one is listening (lol) . Holding thumbs.
