i've got the talk about 250s and love them. It helps if all your buddies have the same thing. My friend with a cobra can listen to us, but not talk to us.

The 250 and up have the scan feature, which will allow you to find ANY conversation while you are talking, so subchannels DON'T completely protect your privacy.

The Sports authority had them listed in this weeks paper for $60 each with a $30 rebate (20 mail-in, $10insantly) so at $30 you can't go wrong. I use to sell them at my sporting goods store for $150-$200 last year, and they sold like candy.
