[QUOTE="Sflutes, post: 1578589, member: 106464"] I use a ham. NM has fantastic repeater networks. You can literally talk from any where to anywhere in the state. Use to even have a statewide phone patch. APRS allows me to send and receive email/txt messages. It’s cumbersome but very handy. As for the walkie talkies, Id recommend a pair of the ham-capable radios if you know how to use them. They have more power, better batteries, etc. You need a license to transmit on them in the ham band. Otherwise, I have used midlands and Motorola’s FRS and GMRS. They are ok. But don’t believe the marketed range unless you are using line of sight distances. Terrain can significantly reduce communications. Also, hunting w them is not always legal in all states if used to aid in taking game. [/QUOTE]
