WTB old cheap junk VHF Radio

Just lookin for one u guys bought and didnt like maybe it doesnt float no features all u can do is talk on it wanna get something for my girlfriend to have while shes stuck on the beach if something comes up an she needs to get a hold of me because i keep my phone in a dry bag an dont really pay any attention to it.

Have you thought about buying a set of walkie talkies?  They work pretty good, $20 - 40$. My VHF has an FRS band and works well with most walkie talkies.

Yeah the ones you get at sporting good stores are great. We used them for skiing and around the campground....I sometimes get sidetracked at a few sites

Was also gonna use it if i brought a  buddy out with me im going darkside an i still got the t13 a friend can use if they wanna and carrying 2 radios sounds like a hassel lol

Cabela's has one for under $50 and there's a $25 mail-in rebate;

Wal Mart has one for about $46 for a local score on a radio. 

For the GF on the shore, yeah i'd go with a Cobra or a Uniden, really cheap in most places!  I've seen Uniden 2-Packs of VHF's for 50$.  Not that i'd trust it on the ocean, but good for a backup or shore unit

Derrick,
I have a uniden I might be persuaded to part with.

The thing with a VHF is that they are not supposed to be used for ongoing conversations, no offense meant, so if it is just to saty in touch with updates as to locations and return times etc, then I would say it's just fine. On the other hand the FRS channels have little to no restrictions. My VHF does FRS but I'm not sure if they all do.

Should be goin through saturday eric ill txt u

To the usage comment its mostly gonna be how u doin when u gonna be back or im goin for coffee stay out longer have fun beep u wen i get back lol not gonna sit there an talk all day while i fish ill turn my radio off lol

I doubt anyone would hassle you, but it is illegal to use a VHF on land.
