the one in the sbn purchase is the X2 which is a step down from the top of the line X1. The FRS multisport from chatter box is pretty cheap compare to the X1 or the X2s. Some of my friends have the collet communicators, they sd sometimes you can static, and you can actually hear other people talk on their cell phones, and sometimes it is very abrubt, so it hurts your ears and scares you sometimes. I have never tried it, dunno if it is true, same with the chatterboxes...
