I've always wanted a walkie talkie that has a built in amplifier that does approximately 200 watts,and has capabilities like the freeband radios out there. I've thought about rigging one to an amp and a battery on a bicycle through the external antenna jack as a project. I need the extra power to talk local with all the skip lately and I just might could make some skip contacts too????

Jerry-

All you need for your project is:

Radio- Eagle Spitfire or Titan RPSY201 w/mobile adaptor

Amp- KLV 200p

Generator- (2) bicycle light generators

Battery- 25 AH gel cell

Charger- build cheap regulator circuit

Antenna- 108" whip of course!

This will work nicely while simultaneously talking and coasting downhill.
