I enjoy radios for large scout events where the net is incredibly busy, and the success of the weekend is wholly down to being able to communicate around a wide area. The radios are absolutely critical for this, and it feels great being able to use them 100% for what they are intended for. The ability to communicate remotely to someone several miles away via a small box that you hold in your hand still holds a little magic for me! Being on PMR, it means that other people taking part in these events can all be part of the weekend communications, even if it is via an 'argos special'.
