I'm looking to buy two Walkie Talkies to communicate between a SP Grape Harvester (no cab - very loud) and a Tote Bin tractor with cab.
Distance will generally be only 20 -200 feet.
What is a good quality and tough brand?
Are Uniden worth the extra money?
And how many watts should I be buying, will too great a wattage result in more "traffic jams" throughout the local area when other operators may also be using theirs?
Will I need a throat microphone on the Grape Harvester - if so what brand?
And does the VOX function still operate with a throat mike?
Thank you in advance for your thoughts on my lengthy list of questions.
Oh, I have also considered a Cordless Phone with Walkie Talkie capability but they're very coy about range and they don't appear to be made for a rough life.
Exception being "EnGenius" but they're very pricey.
