What type of dad are you celebrating this Father’s Day? Maybe he’s the adventurous type, who’s always looking for a new gadget to aid in his wanderings. Maybe he’s a homebody who’s content to curl up on the couch and watch a DVD. Or maybe you’re shopping for a metrosexual dad who’s always ready to try new fragrances and grooming products.

Sure, it’s not an exploding pen or a listening device disguised as a tie-tack, but these two-way radios will keep Dad and his favorite partner-in-espionage busy protecting the free world. This is a great gift from son or daughter to Daddy, too.
