My camp is looking into different options for communications for certain key staff members... directors/assistant directors, health officers, aquatics sites, and the heads of a few of our more remote areas.
We currently use a combination of phones (both internal and external) and Motorala TalkAbout radios. The phones are good for calling the main office, but not always working in the other direction -- a busy environment makes it difficult for people out in the field to answer their phone. And the TalkAbouts don't seem to do the job (range is greatly decreased when trees and uneven terrain are involved; battery life is touch and go; clarity is sometimes a problem; etc.). Is it worth purchasing a two-way radio system?? Do they work well?? In your experience, which are the best ones (price, range/clarity, ease of use, scalability, etc).
