Do you keep your handheld radio/walkie-talkie on when driving?

Just wondering if I am the only one who sometimes keeps their handheld radio on when doing normal driving (so when not on a run).

I am only on channel 7 sub 0, I guess I keep it on in the same way as a trucker uses a CB. For instance, if you are on the highway and pass a MINI if they have a radio then you can just say hi rather than waving at 70mph...

Idk maybe this is just obsessive

Might be able to set up a trend for something to do. Maybe channel 7 could be the "universal channel".

I could do that too. Seven works for me.

We may need to upgrade to satellite radios, haha!


I will have to keep my radio on more often now, although this needs to get to the NJ drivers. Texas may be too far

I do like your idea though, and had never thought of doing that. Channel 7 it is....

If I'm ever in jersey, I'll call for you!

I don't want to start another thread on the topic, but dammit, I waved at a fellow mini this morning and didn't get one back! What's wrong with people? Now, if I'd had the radio with me, I coulda let that dude have it!
