Dumb question, what is a good walkie for these events? I know during Last Sunday they are offered up and I never take one. Figure it would be good to know what is going on with the group of guys, that is if anything is at all. Thanks. Ill request off for this tomorrow.

pretty sure the walkie commonly used on Last Sunday is this model listed below. Sadly, I bought a type with Mk6_Shizz that isn't compatible with these.. and that is something to keep in mind. I recommend buying what is known to work with the group.

also, in small groups, walkies aren't needed. they just help heard the group and lead when you are dealing with 20+ cars.

with a small group such as ours, every driver just pays attention to the car behind them. if a driver has an emergency, he can flash his beams. the car in front will do the same until the lead car sees and we pull over or circle back to the problem car. calling is a pain.. cause it's 1 to 1, that is why walkies are so great, since you talk with everyone on the ch at the same time.

Actually, walkies are always a good idea no matter what size the group. Especially on routes such as the 33 where cell service can be spotty. I plan on going on this drive and will bring my supply.

Count me in!

Also, for anyone interested there's a great little cafe near my house here in Ventura/Saticoy off the 126 at Wells Rd called 126 Cafe. I plan on having breakfast there before we head out for the long drive.

The radios being used are FRS ((Family Radio Service) radios. The brand doesn't matter, if one doesn't appear to work it is because of using the wrong channel or privacy code. I strongly recommend not using a privacy code for these events.

excellent, and good point on walkies. they are kinda cheap enough that I feel like they are worth owning.

hmm, Ill bring mine and perhaps you can take a look. maybe it is something I/Dan overlooked and that would be great if we could use these. glad you are confirmed.

I'm sure we will be able to get your radios to work.

Privacy Codes are intended to cut down on radio transmissions you hear when many radios are used in the same area. If you use one, you will only hear transmissions made on the same channel and privacy code. If you don't use one, you will hear transmissions on the same channel, regardless of whether the transmitting radio used a privacy code or not. The privacy code is essentially a permissive filter.

If radio A uses channel 6 and privacy code 9, and radio B uses channel 6 and no privacy code, radio B will be able to hear radio A because it doesn't filter transmissions. Radio A on the other hand will not be able to hear radio B because it isn't transmitting with the privacy code it expects.

I'm in... I have a couple walkies, I'll try to find them.
