Hi, Luiz,

I could not find that magazine article I was looking for but I did find a site describing the the Standard Horizon HX 470S radio.

This successor to the Standard Horizon HX460S is on the market but hard to find. It was awaiting approval from the FCC to use the FRS (Family Radio Service) frequencies. It's pricey: $344 + shipping.
