Is it possible to expidite an order ASAP versus the 2-3 week turnaround time as stated on this order site? Your timely response is greatly appreciated. Ben Kottke Hello Robert,

They can more easily use a cell phone to do it. And the cell phone's range is much more than 20 miles!

I use time-lapse for my research on wildfire behavior and plume dynamics. I have been looking into the pocket wizard, but I need long distance. I also need to be able to have the camera trigger at specific intervals...1 sec or 2 sec. I would prefer much faster. Can I use one master radio to trigger two or three cameras? Any thoughts on this application would be appreciated. Thanks! This is exactly what I need. I use time-lapse for my research on wildfire behavior and plume dynamics.

Or does the camera have to be pre-focused in order for the signal to work? Thanks - what an innovative way to solve a problem! So will this work if your camera is set to a focus priority AF mode?

None to date at least. Today’s walkie-talkies (two way radios, MURS included) aren’t the same AM type things you used as a kid, or even a couple years ago. The technology has greatly improved, preventing bleedover and other interference, by incorporating things like Interference Eliminator Codes (121 per channel on my Motorola radios) which offer superior interference protection. Radios also have QT noise filtering, which filters out unwanted transmissions from other channels or maker’s radios. I live downtown San Diego, next to a train station and shopping mall, and when I put the radio on a certain channel, and select one of the 121 additional interference eliminator code, that channel is all mine, and there’s no interference from taxis, shopping mall employees, shoppers, police, train station employees, security guards, etc. The technology seems to work pretty good. I let it sit on that channel all day, and it stays quiet. UK YANKEE: This isnt a problem with good radios:
