Oh ok, I was curious if you guys were using CB for tank to tank, given that few mud crunchers want to carry CBs that need 18 batteries, youd have it prety much to yourself.
Your right though GMRS is great, plus you can always mount a 7/8ths wave antenna on your tank with ground plane elements on it for boosted range (unless your tank is mettle then no ground plane)
Audiovos makes a great GMRS base station, it has rechargeable batteries inside, 1 volt or AC operation and charging, external antenna (BNC adapter) vox ability, accepts accesories like head sets and shoulder mic.s and has a scan mode (for survielance lol) and weather band for listening to the robot and his "Heres the current weather if you cant look out the window"
It usualy goes on ebay for 30 bucks with shipping, that 5 watts of power is a real difference from frs on a 1/4 watt.
