Trying to find FRS/GMRS radio (cobra or motorolla probably) capable throat mic's. I need 5, preferably below $550 each, but if need be I could probably go higher if its worth it. Any links / help would be appreciated, thanks.

I have no idea as to the quality of this, but they are like $100 each.
This particular model is supposedly designed for airsoft use, but a regular version for phones and what not is like $40.

Depending on quality desired and look, airsoftupgrades.com has $40 throat mics. If you are going to Trial Run, I'll show you mine.

You probably wont find much that in that price range. Good mikes go from $450-$550; then there is garbage for less than a hundred. Be careful, though -- good mikes often work poorly with low qaulity radio (impedences and line voltages might n ot be robust enough to handle pro-gear in that range). If you come up with the excat radio you have, I can find you good mikes that will 'fit'; but it wouldtake trial and error to know if they will work as well with FRS as they would with UHF or VHF.

You have very good radios. Anything from TCI will be strong enough and powerful enough for your liesure and your rescue uses. The TTMK is a good choice; and works well in both environments. I don't know anything about what kind of houseyou live in, but you shouldn't have to move out to get a set. ;)
