HH VHF Group Buy?

Hello all...

   I am working on the potability of a Handheld VHF group buy option.  Looking for feedback from those who are interested in actually making a purchase.

1)  Pricepoint?  Are you more interested in a higher-end radio or basic, but good, model.
2)  GPS Built In?

   What features in a HH VHF most appeal to you & your decision to purchase?  I have already received the "ok" from a manufacturer and now I want to focus on which of their (many) models we want to purchase.

Thanks!

I am in, my PP is $100-$125 in a group buy.. What models are you thinking about?

The exact model is still TBD based on what features everyone wants in the radio.  I have a couple options; one would be in the $100-125 type of range where as the other (with GPS) might be up in the $200 type of range.  I will negotiate the final cost, minimum we need to buy, etc, etc, etc once I have a better understanding of the radio we want to look for.

Thanks everyone!

I'm in and open to either price point depending on the group concensus.

I'm interested depending if the HH had GPS

Interested, GPS or not. Thanks for trying to put this together !

Hi Bill,

Can you pick out 2 models, one with GPS and one basic?

This is awesome Bill. Especially since the LRC is right around the corner and you must have a VHF to participate.

Mike

i might be interested in either one

Interested in basic VHF radio, no GPS, $100-125 price point.

This.

Ok, it WILL be a lower price unit & I think you will REALLY like what it comes out to be $ wise.  Details being released SOON!

Nick needs a radio. I personally would rather have gps and then I can give Nick the radio I'm using now. [emoji4]

I'm in. I would like Valentina to have her own when we are out there.

 

Sincerely,

Jim
