Any experience with Midland GMRSs? I can get these for about $50 per pair. Same 2 watts of power allowed to all the other GMRS radios.
I was able to get into the Audiovox site. There are several phone numbers and email addresses for various functions. I think a call or email to their coporate communications department, telling them we're going public to praise Motorola and slime them, might get some results. Heck, we only want to get working radios to our troops, so they can get what they paid for out of their own pockets.
I haven't heard back from Steve yet as to how many radios are involved. If necessary, I'll put more knives on hold until the radio problem is fixed.
WN, great stories from Tom. It warms my heart to think our little knives can do important stuff. Of course, you know that from your outdoor adventures.
Maybe we should consider giving away EMT scissors in our care packages. That was a good tip in the Ranger Rick Digest to keep a pair in stuck in the top of your boot, so you can cut through belts and webbing when riding in vehicles.
It's humbling to realize that our gifts, sent with love and joy, can sometimes have life-and-death consquences. So far, "life" has been the winner. Maybe it's the prayers that accompany them.

I will wholeheartedly agree with all of that WM. When I asked Tom if the knives were useful I just expected a "yes." It really touched me to hear *how* useful.
Wonder if we could get some of those EMT scissors donated? We need to look into that. I have one person in particular I will ask.
okay... I'm goin' out on a limb here...
DON'T BUY RADIOS TO SEND TO A COMBAT ZONE... ESPECIALLY RADIOS THAT OPERATE IN AN UNSECURE MODE... I THINK IT'S A BAD IDEA...ESPECIALLY IN AN URBAN "POLICE" ROLE...
that said, if you insist, I will lend you my advise... Midlands are fine... gotta watch the batteries and chargers... if I ain't mistaken, the Midlands operate on AA batteries... I don't know if y'all want to invest in NIH batteries and chargers... we could go broke tryin' tuh keep the platoon in batteries...
