Hi, as the title suggests I’m looking for a good radio system for comms in off-road convoys but also something reliable incase its ever needed in a secluded area, there seem to be many options and Im a bit confused.

<<fixed 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ >> pls delete this post I had the channel lock on (Symbol by the battery with a key displayed). removed that by holding down the # key @Frederic @Gaurav I have been using my Baofeng UV-5R since starting with the club (6 rides no issues). testing for tomorrow’s drive my unit is stuck on the channel I last used (2). The buttons when pressed make a sound to show they are functioning however none work? The menu button, a/s band, up-down buttons and all numbers do not seem to work. I have removed the battery and given it some time but still not allowing any keys to work. have you experienced this previous and is there a way to hard reset the device. It’s nice having a second radio so if I can get it working that would be great! @Ale Vallecchi I do have a spare radio so am all good for tomorrow so no troubles there. thanks in advance

After seeing so many drives with newbie and experience offroaders from other clubs and background ignoring the radio communication, ask me to write such a lengthy explanation. Your car fuel is less important than radio communication as if you don't have the fuel you will not move but still, you will be safe and alive, whereas if you cannot hear that critical advise on what's happening on other side and enter then you might lose your vehicle and even life. Your music, passengers chit chat, mobile calls, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and other social distraction can wait rather than missing important advice over the radio that tells you the plan of action to not get lost in the desert. Your food and water are less important even, as without food you can stay alive for 4-5 days and without water up to 12 hours, but without radio communication, you might not be able to return home safely. No excuses are acceptable for not using the radio and responding back in time: Oh I forgot the radio Oh I didn't charge Oh it's volume was turned down by accident Oh I changed the frequency Oh my passenger switched it off Oh I didn't realize it's this important ENOUGH OF EXCUSES for your own safety and safety for others, if you cannot process this simple device then you are not fit to be an offroader, at least NOT with Carnity Offroad Club. Safety is paramount here and members who cannot understand this basic requirement will be removed from the Carnity Offroad Club. Spare radio is available for absolute newbies only if you have done 1-2 drives, please get your radio. It just cost less than 200 dhs for years of fun and safety. This is the first thing that any offroader should buy, who wants to drive in a disciplined convoy with safety in mind.
