Wow, it used to be radios with battery compartments. Now we'll have batteries with radio compartments.

Isn't technology great?

Or on your belt?

An H-T built into an antenna?

Dick Tracy's "wrist radio" at last... with room to spare.

I have a hard enough time hitting the controls with my big fingers on the current mini-hts. Where arethe controls on these little radios?

And on another note. The next time someone tells me he is hearing radio signals in his head, I won't think he is crazy. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Just thought of something.

What frequency are they on and what kind of antenna do they use?

Really tiny PL-259s are needed. # http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

I suppose if you sneeze, you'd lose your rig......

Or, if you were outside and the wind came along, you'd never find it.

And, it gives a new meaning to flushing it down the toilet. A septic tank full of radios......
