Which brand & model of walkie talkies for my "spotter?"

Bucky, I suppose that the "do it yourself" method has one big advantage -- if you ever have a problem, there are no awkward recriminations! But after forty years together, I have finally learned that I am usually much better off relying on DW's judgment than my own, and that goes for a lot of things in my life (not just backing up).

Please don't ask me how I learned this painful truth, or how long it took me to come to this realization. (Better late than never, I guess.) ;)
