 If you are using your walkie talkies on a climb up a tough mountain or in a sand-and-water situation, you probably ought to pay more because you are asking the radio to give you hazardous duty performance. If you just need something to entertain the kids as they play in the backyard or you need to keep in touch while you and your family members are in different ends of the mall, the less expensive units will do. So the first thing to consider is "What will my radios be used for?" the radios I might need would probably cost $1,000.00 apiece. My own portable walkie talkies were bought to help mountain climbers on moderate mountains communicate with each other, so I bought units that cost about $250.00 apiece. But you can get perfectly servicable portable 2-way radios for light duty at 1/10 of that cost. So need/price is the first thing to think about. A few years ago when we were experimenting with these low-power radios, we purchased a simple mast and tripod from and put up a small ground plain vertical antenna at our base camp at an elevation of about 16 feet above ground--that installation VASTLY improved mobileradiotechnology the quality of our audio and the distance of the communication. Here are some questions and tips to consider if you plan to get FRS radios: How often do you plan to use the radios for? If it is only going to be used for limited purposes, you might save some money and get a scaled down model. If however you plan to use them extensively, a few extra bucks up front mobileradiotechnology may make you a happier camper. For extensive users, also consider the battery used to power the FRS radio - you might want to get a model that uses rechargeable batteries, otherwise you will spend some extra money for batteries. Another good use is avoiding cell-phone charges if you are in range. This can become your cell-phone substitute in many circumstances and that is good. A nice plus with many of these units today is that you can get hands-free attachments. A voice-activated microphone/headphone unit could really benefit anyone with their hands and eyes mobileradiotechnology occupied, like a mobileradiotechnology vehicle driver, a cyclist, or a hiker/climber. If that might be in your need profile, keep an eye out for units such as these. mobileradiotechnology I don''t think having a multi-channel unit is all that important for most people. Most people are just wanting to communicate between point A and point B. But there are many radios mobileradiotechnology today that mobileradiotechnology will let you connect with points C,D,E,F, etc. The thing of it is, in real life, most people don''t need that extra feature. I expect that this type of radio will get smaller over time and one of these days they will be built into watches or something. people just like to stay in touch. And when a is too expensive or a cell tower isn''t near or there is another problem, these little radios can often fill the bill. Just start with what your real application is going to be and work upward from there. Welcome to the primier site for two way radios.
