 What is the purpose of using these radios? If you plan to use them to talk-up-a-storm - go right ahead! passiverepeaters But, keep in mind, anyone within range may tap into your conversation at any time if they also have an FRS radio, unlike passiverepeaters a cell phone. It is not best used for private conversations. My friend has a different brand FRS radio then the one I want to buy. Are they compatible? Yes! All FRS radios operate on the same range of frequencies, regardless of brand. passiverepeaters Although, keep in mind that if you or your friend has an older model, you may have different sub-channel capabilities (14 channels vs. 14 channels with 38 sub channels). What are they good for? Walkie-talkies are good for communicating quickly between two distant points. Police officers use walkie-talkies, solders use walkie-talkies, sports enthusiasts, custodians, security guards, and workers all use them to communcate between two points. How far can a walkie-talkie send a message The average walkie-talkie can send and receive messages from about a mile away. More advanced walkie-talkies can send and recieve messages from two to four miles away using only one to four watts of transimitted power. The army and other personel use the two to four watt walkie-talkies to communicate from far distances.Some walkie-talkies translate in morse code, which make it difficult for anyone to listen to a conversation Small Portable two ways have begun to catch on in the last few years as technology makes electronic passiverepeaters gadgets smaller and lighter. You can find them all over the world. What do you look for in one of these devices? There are several things to know and remember. First of all, remember that old maxim: "You get what you pay for." In this field the really good units are going to be somewhat expensive. The third thing I would think about is electrical power. What kind of batteries does the unit require? Are the batteries rechargable? What are the recharging units, if any, like? Can I recharge the radio from my car''s lighter socket? If I passiverepeaters can''t recharge the batteries, what kind of batteries do I need and what will their life be if I leave the unit on for several hours? Consider electrical power. The fourth thing to consider is range. Many radios are advertised as being a 5-mile or a 2-mile radio, but that is only on a flat landscape under ideal conditions. If you can, either conduct a real-world passiverepeaters test on the radios or ask someone who has actually used them for a while passiverepeaters what kind of range they have. I have found two nice uses for my own portable radio set. A long-distance drive with two cars can really benefit from these. The two drivers or others in the two cars can stay in touch rather well as long as the cars are in reasonable range. Welcome to the primier site for two way radios.
