Why don't you simply use your 500? Wilrobnson wrote: Just downloaded this thing from the Google Play Store to try out....Sounding a lot like the real thing, especially channel 19... :barf:

Channel 7 is a ghetto, and 19 seems to mostly have Texans on it. You can adjust how much you hear by dialing the dx settings. It was cool talking to some dudes in the Australian outback last night, but I ended up turning the distance down from worldwide to 600 miles...one can take only so many dingo jokes. |

Think of the old school AOL chatrooms. It's like those, but voice...VOIP. |

Yep, it's Thursday and I've already worked 46 hours, on track for 90 by Sunday. But you take 10 seconds to download an app and play with it on and off over the course of a 26-hour shift, and you need a job. Don't we have a rolling eyes smiley dude somewhere? |

The Wil and Jim consensus seems to be "neat toy, but not overly useful". WAY to long a delay with 2 users. It's not much better when you have a lot of people on, but it can be funny. Dingo Hobie. |
