    The only problem with an official channel is - are you supposed to leave your radio on all day to see if anyone calls.

    Why Channel 5? Wouldn't 13-something be better since it's a higher frequency?

    The regular Killington group (those that post on www.killingtonzone.com - formerly killingtonchat.com till K-mart pulled the plug) is on 2-11. There's quite a bit of activity on that channel that you'll probably not want to listen to as some of the members can get quite chatty.

    Also, there's a 10 AM meeting outside KBL on the deck right in front of the electronic sign (the area where you cross between superstar and K-1). Again, more details at killingtonzone.com

    Ummmm, if you had a radio, wouldn't you leave it on all day?

    Works a lot better that way.

    No, why waste the batteries. I only turn it on if I am seperated from my group. If I am skiing alone, why have it on?

    If you want to stay alone, leave it off.

    edit: You're really not getting the whole reason they would have an official channel picked out, are you?

    So if I turn on my radio someone will call me? Does it work the same with cell phones?

    You guys must go through a ton of batteries! I only turn my radio on when someone is trying to reach me.

    Maybe you need new battaries. With a good charge I can leave my radio on all day no problem. Broadcasting is what sucks the juice out of the battaries.

    I'm thinking you might want to recharge the batteries in your sarcasm detector....

    That's what I do with my Pieps. I'm still on the original batteries!

    13 would be a bad choice. The difference in frequency is minimal not that UHF is the best choice anyhow.

    1-7 are the best choices. These are shared FRS/ISGMRS channels so people who have quality radios (1W 2W 3W instead of the cheapass 0.5W) can broadcast at full power. 8-14 are FRS only and therefor radios are limited to 0.5W PEP. (15-22 are GMRS channels and not limited)
