I think I might have had a good idea - cause for concern I know!
In our little corner of the DR my neighbours thought it would be a good idea if we all had walkie talkies. I've just bought some Motorola Talkabout T4900's for around 40 dollars for two. They come with a charger that you can stand them in.
Here's our plan - ten four good buddies! I believe that channel 9 is the emergency channel, therefore at night we all switch our handsets on to channel nine and then go to bed. Should anything happen in the night there's no need to go fumbling around for a mobile to phone someone who's probably switched their phone off and gone to bed. Just press the talk button and we're all wide awake. Someone else can phone the police, someone else can get tooled up and come and help. We think it's a good plan.
So, why stop in our little spot? They sell a slightly more powerful handset with a ten mile radius. I could call Rocky and get him out of bed from my house! Seriously though, if more people were to buy them and then we had some sort of list of who'se where we could quickly arrange help almost anywhere along the North Coast.
Whadaya think? Vigilantes Rock :bandit:
