Item 3: some good dependable FRS-onlt Motorola Talkabout T5200
handhelds. Specs:
Three AA cells

NO RECHARGE CAPABILITY IN RADIO
FRS channels only (14 frequencies)
1/2W xmit power

key lock
38 CTCSS codes
5 different call tones

These are your standard FRS radios, in that they work very well in close
proximity or in very clear environments. Think around the block or the
campsite (remember, only 1/2W and 462MhZ! They have really good audio
and a low battery drain.
I have four of them, $12.50 each.
