Walkie-Talkies

Want to buy a set and need suggestions. Used primarily for communicating in multi-car caravans.

Doesn't need GPS capability but decent range and above all else, good sound quality! I don't know if it's just par for the course with these things, but they all sound like the teacher from Peanuts. TIA

We have been using the Motorola Talkabout MR350r with great success. They are very clear and the range is quite amazing.

Here is a link for more info.

Dont know if this would interest you but the iphone has an app called hey tell. It is free and acts like a walkie talkie.

Get commercial Motorola radios with remote speaker mic I use these for skiing. Works for a few Miles depending on terrain and can track my kids all over mountain and hotel. The commercial radios work on a different frequency than the family ones at Costco or staples. No comparison in quality And range.

Really 18 miles or 18 miles of clear, non obstructed space?

I am so there if this thing can allow me to communicate from UCLA to downtown, which is about 10 miles, but with lots of buildings and what not obstruction.
