Alright, i checked out some prices today.....

this is the best i could get....

Motorolla Talkabout T5625
14 channels
3.2km range

All the guy had in stock was 16 of em.... so i'm going to take the first 16 names on the list if everyone is still interested.... ryan i going to put them all on his credit card and everyone can pay up on the next meet.... k now here is the prices....

for all 16, no discount with tax it comes to 599.12 which would be 37.45 per radio
with the discount i got, it was 559.12 with tax so comes to 34.95 per radio...
not much of a deal but that was the best i could get.....

here is a pic of the radio..
also, i got the ones that take 2 AA batterys so that u don't have to use chargers, cause only 1 charger comes for every 2pack.

http://www.futureshop.ca/multimedia/products/large/10028869.jpg

if you find a better deal leme know where and how much...

SHIFT_AT_9000_RPMS
I don't know much about these radios, but $35 sounds good to me.This will come in handy when we hijack the Rodgers trucks!! See ya Saturday. :bigthumbup:

dogstar
hmm, im sure ive seen a two pack for 40 bucks at futureshop before, and they were motorola, maybe a lower model, but shit, its just FRS.

i think im out until i can do some further research.

Magnum
yeah but what kinda range.... 1km range isnt going to do much for you when you lose the group in your car...

Magnum
anyways, i'm picking them up tomorrow night... i'm going to keep the recipt incase we have to bring some back.... bring 35 bucks on saturday and 2 AA batteries... i'll be there with the radios..... leme know if you dont want them now.. . i'll check the forum tomorrow at about 3;30 to see if there are any cancells..

if ur just looking for a 14 channel without charger....i seen them at xs cargo a while back for like 15 or 20 bucks each

95Integra
still want mine. 35 bux is fine. don't be cheapasses people, 35 bux is like what? 3 hours of work? omg

JDC™
im still in, but magnum
check your pm titled "radio"

SlowAzzPorsche911T
GOD f@cking DAMNIT IT'S PORSCHE :kill: :kill:

but umm ya, sounds good to me, can i pay in... lint and buttons?

SlowAzzPorsche911T
3.2 km..if splinez picked one up we could talk until the wee hours of the morning :bigthumbup: hehe

and again porsche not porche... it's not a place you put your feet up on with yur banjo and spitoon! :angry:

superpirate25
Honestly I think we should upgrade to these ones
click
The price with taxes per radio would be 42.80 and if we got a gb deal it would obviously be less. I think the few extra bucks are worth it for the 38 sub channels. Aaron, where did you go to get this deal at? Was it Future shop?

Copper
hmmm...the above ones do sound not to bad, I say find out the group by price, all the better if we can have private channels, but at the same time, they are just frs for cruzin.......

I'd say I'm still in, but I won't be there on Sat, so lemme know when we can meet up for this.

but check the other radios, and come on folks, if your asying you've seen them for 20 bux try and find some specs, if we can find somthing cheaper to accomidate our needs, why the hell not.

redbaron303
Superpirates, those are excellent radios....

the price is fine as long as they have 14 channels, subchannels, and at least a 3km range.....

superpirate25
Yeah, they are just for cruzin but myself and others will probably use them for other things as well. I know I will use it for snowboarding and anybody whos ever used one in the mountains knows the channels get crowded pretty quickly. For $5 more we might as well go with the ones I posted. I will call future shop and see what they can offer in terms of a gb.

redbaron303
:bigthumbup: :bigthumbup:

redbaron303
superpirates - the ones you're lookin at are also $79.99/pair @ London Drugs

superpirate25
I'll call them too, see who will offer the better deal. Although Future Shop would probably have more in stock than London Drugs.

SlowAzzPorsche911T
i'm gonna use my mine for international sabotage :bigthumbup:

midnite
IF you get the ones superpirate has chosen, count me in for 1. i want the subchannels. B)

SHIFT_AT_9000_RPMS
F@ck, I'm down for whatever. If we upgrade, I'm still in.

Magnum
ALRIGHT... the reason i got the ones that i showed is because everyone except redbaron was saying 'if the price is right i'll get em ' i got these ones cause they are cheaper..... f@ck whatever.. i bought 16 of the things... they arnt super high speed radios, but they'll work... if you want em i'll bring em out saturday night at 9;30-11;00...
if you cant make it out saturday, maybe we can meet at united cycle thursday at 8ish... pm me if you need to show up on thursday, cause i dont want to show up if no one is going to be there... the radio's are 35 even each... no charger-which is what i was looking for... if you want to spend more money on better ones, then set up a group buy with superpirate, but kevin, start a new thread cause your hijacking mine.... :P

yes they are from futureshop... thats the best deal i could find... only thing different is that they dont have subchannels... but for a 3km range your not going to have to worry about traffic on 14 channels... jesus... want me to get some crypto filled radios from the army...lol

stealth

Sorry, wasn't trying to hijack your thread, just throwing out suggestions. I imagine I'll pick one of those up since you already bought them.

uuuhmmm slowazz... if your talking about a crystal in the radio... its probably crypto..... i wouldnt be talking about it on a public forum... seeing how lots of countries would pay good money for that, so they could see how we code our radio frequencys....... or a guy like me that would say something about it at work, and you would probably get in alot of shit... fines/jailtime.. stealing government property especially military, isnt a good thing to be advertising...

superpirate25
Hey Slowaxzz, you're not an Osama are you??? :o :o :o

Impulse
that is it i am telling the next time that i am @ work.......or not for a small fee.....jk

stealth
slowazz mang lets do some selling of radios the USA and IRAQ and shit jk.

but i dont think u can get busted if the fuckers are dumb enough to leave it there for anyone.

the crystal in a radio determines the frequencys it transmits on.

uhm, dude, just cause its "left" somewhere doesnt mean you can just walk along and grab it, especially if its on government property, cause they still own the shit.

example.... if you see a cop car with its lights flashing, its running, with the keys in it, and the doors wide open as the copper chases some crook down...
do you steal it, or maybe keep walking??

95Integra
steal it of course. what kinda stupid question is that?

aaron, ill be there to pick up friday/saturday, whatever whenever :unsure:

... it's yours. Gotta gets me some more pics of Chris' mom.


hee hehe hee

:blink:

stealth
well not something that obvious because it is still running so it is still being used but if i find it in a abandoned building that is not locked up and they are stupid enough to leave them ill take it.

lol :D
cryptography would be used to encode the audio, not the frequency.

i doubt there is crypto built into the radios

Future shop's flyer from today's paper has a pair of T5725 for $70. The T5725 has subchannels features, if i'm not wrong. Someone clarify that.

See my post a few pages back. -_-

Seks
Just a heads up...

I dropped by Cellular Toy Shoppe on 97 st and 130 ave to buy a cellular item. I noticed that, hanging on the wall, there are brand new Motorola T5100 for $20/each. I don't believed they have subchannels though.

SlowAzzPorsche911T
ok to clear things up i FOUND them, I didn't steal them out of some running car or something. Obviously they didn't want them anymore if there were in some abandoned building.. we used em a while for paintballing and stuff, I have no criminal intenetions with em so I don't see the problem, no one was harmed, no one was robbed, the gov't aren't even missing4 radios

oh and Magnum, I'm not the bad guy here, I know several military personnel that make certain items available to civilians for a price :rolleyes:

stealth
i dont see anything wrong with what u did and found. :bigthumbup:

Why is it a nightmare?? A bunch of us bought them last weekend and they rock. Others plan to buy some this weekend. If there are leftovers they get returned, simple as that.
