Sam,
Welcome to the real world! This happens in all walks of life not just this cat sailor forum. and I know it is annoying when people state opinions as facts. But just as in any other area of life, you take what you need and discard the rest. The person asking the question is ultimately responsible for how he uses the information he receives.
But to say that it is "stupid" to ask questions on this forum simply because a better source for the information exist somewhere else is stupid in itself. Its like not being able to ask my wife if its going to rain today simply because I have access to noaa weather info. I love this forum because people from all levels participate and from the whole mix some very useful information is produced. If this information bores some of you just skip the post and go to one that doesn't. Dont be snobs, I think the thing that unites everyone in this forum is the love of Cat sailing. Newbies and experts alike. Anyway.. enough said about this.
Regarding the radios I was talking about the set of two which I saw at BJ's (Our local Sam's Club) for around $60 the set. Youre right, I misunderstood, Just a little distracted I guess.
