I've just read the specifications for the Motorola T5522, they have an output power of 0.5W and the ones I've ordered have up to 5W (typically 4W) from a full battery so 8-10 times more powerful.

The radios you guys will get come with a speaker / mic in the same unit. If thats no good for you Z guys, I think the ones Paul and I have ordered come with a small earpiece and mic so maybe there's a swap to be had there.

We used to use PMR Radios on the Z car cruises I used to do - radio of choice was the Motorola T5522 (I still have a pair, which I'll need to dig out - they should be compatible with the group buy?)

The way we used them was that the lead, a mid and the tail driver were the only ones to transmit, except in emergency - 10 people all transmitting at once just won't work. The radios were fine in line-of-sight, but the slightest bend and contact was lost - hence the lead/mid/tail so we could relay messages

Also from experience, an earpiece or headset makes using the radios a lot better, especially in open top cars 

I remember one year going to/from Gaydon we had some cheap radios great fun - journey seemed to go a lot quicker

I've changed my mind now, once I read about you only wanting to use it for safety reasons it put me off wanting one
