I'm unsure if this is where I should be posting this question so sorry if I'm in the wrong place
I am going on a vacation soon to the Bahamas and wanted to get 4 radios to communicate with each other so I'm delving into the world of radios.
I am looking for something close to $100, no more than $120 that will meet our limited needs while having room to play with as a hobby afterwards.
Some of the information I have come accross pointed in the direction of WouXun KG-UV6D and since then I have discovered that they are all the way up to 9D at this point although the price jumps up to about $170 at the least as far as I could find.
I understand that a license may be required to use some features of these devices. I have complete confidence I can do the investigation required to properly operate any device as I have a technical background and am currently in the technical field however I feel I am a bit limited on time to research the ideal device to perform the appropriate usage research as I leave on 10/30 and figured I would go to what I would consider relative experts in the area.
I understand that a device like the WouXun KG-UV6D has features which I will not need but my primary concern really is should I purchase this device or has there since been a much better device released that is around the same price range. I would hate to purchase a set of devices equaling roughly $400 only to find out there was something better that as I grew would have been a much better choice.
Thanks in advance
