Some two way radios may require a license to operate depending on wattage I know the NSXCA has a license which may cover there use.

Yes, their license covers their use (if it's not expired), but I don't think it does in a moving vehicle without a headset.

I'd like to purchase a CCNSX radio if there are still a few available. Might as well get it out of the way now.

Ahh good eye!

Definition of implement of husbandry.. (being recently married, I thought it would apply to me and I'd be exempt, but apparently the definition is different than I expected..)

V C Section 36000 Implements of Husbandry Defined
Implements of Husbandry Defined
36000. An "implement of husbandry" is a vehicle which is used exclusively in the conduct of agricultural operations.

An implement of husbandry does not include a vehicle if its existing design is primarily for the transportation of persons or property on a highway, unless specifically designated as such by some other provision of this code.

Here's what is in effect after July 1, 2011:

NOTE: The preceding section is repealed January 1, 2011, at which time the following section becomes operative.
23123 (a) A person shall not drive a motor vehicle while using a wireless telephone unless that telephone is specifically designed and configured to allow hands-free listening and talking, and is used in that manner while driving.

(b) A violation of this section is an infraction punishable by a base fine of twenty dollars ($20) for a first offense and fifty dollars ($50) for each subsequent offense.

Finally, based on this California CHP FAQ, push-to-talk features can not be used without a hands-free device while operating a motor vehicle.. (see page 2)

The Motorola Two Way Radios I use and have suggested have a Voice Operated Transmission feature aka VOX .... which is considered hands free

I thank my lucky stars every morning I have NOT yet been implemented to husbandry.

So you thank your lucky stars for not having to get up every morning to work on a farm?:tongue:

An "implement of husbandry" is a vehicle which is used exclusively in the conduct of agricultural operations.

My wife and I have discuss this topic quite a bit over the over the past. It could be as simple as having a conference call where everybody is on the same line. The issue is there isnt always reception where you are at so that idea isn't fool proof. So I'm wondering if a Bluetooth app might work, or even adhoc using each phone's wireless abilities to daisy chain a communication link.

An NSXCA ComApp would be way cooler than having to buy an overpriced walkytalky.

Bluetooth only works within a distance of 15 feet. So unless you master driving very very close BT will not work.

For your 2nd idea to work you would need the phones to be on the same wireless IP network, which means a router or server to administer the addresses, multiple access points in multiple cars to increase signal propigation and a smart and iphone application on everybody's device to do voice over IP.

Easier and cheaper to buy a two way radio!!
