 I would highly recommend having a set of FRS radios on hand. They are a lot of fun to use and they are a good communications tool. walkie talkies can communicate with several people at once and don''t always require additional antennas because they are built-in. "walkie talkie are communications tools that are second-to-none," said vehicularrepeaters product manager for walkie talkies. "They offer one-to-many communications and instant group dispatch. You can ask many people a question at the same time without knowing who has the answer."He said that radios can improve productivity without requiring as much money as wireless phone options. "We can put more devices with more people without expending more money," he said. 2 ways are on-site vehicularrepeaters tools with limited ranges. Also similar to wireless phones, walls and steel reduce the range of the units. The model is a higher-end product meant for larger facilities vehicularrepeaters that need more devices and more channel efficiency. "walkie talkies operate on channels and normally users select a different channel for different groups of users.The knows who you are and sets it up by talk group," "You can address one individual, one group, several groups or everybody." Average 2 ways cost from $200 to $300, said. These offer all basic operations, such as group dispatch and multiple channels, vehicularrepeaters but no selective calling. Expanded-range radios cost from $300 to $500 and offer greater coverage and more sophisticated features. Extremely sophisticated systems can cost from $500 to $1,000. A few years ago when we were experimenting with these low-power radios, we purchased a simple mast vehicularrepeaters 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 the quality of our audio and the distance of the communication. Here are some questions and vehicularrepeaters 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 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. The advent of the Family Radio Service and GRMS has opened a whole new possibility for reliable short-range communications, and depending on your needs they may just fill the bill --or they may not. Understand that ANY means of radio communication can save vehicularrepeaters lives, exchange information and simply be fun, so that is endorsement enough. Most of these radios operate on frequencies just above the vehicularrepeaters 70 cm Amateur vehicularrepeaters Bands...somewhere vehicularrepeaters around 462-467 Mhz. The major players all produce satisfactory equipment with similar standards so, for the price conscious, dollars can be saved if you know what to look for. First look at the specifications; the more watts of power out, the further your signal will travel. Beginners note that 700mw (milliwatts) is LESS than 1w (watt). More watts, more power, more distance. The manufacturer''s range claims are not fraudulent or specious, but they can be misleading unless you are in clear country, the ideal conditions for distance communications. Don''t expect a two mile range in heavy terrain, you won''t get it...sometimes you won''t get 200 yards. But for inner-mall talking with your kids and family members, most of them are ok. I''ve also used them on fly fishing trips where we have seldom been more than a quarter mile from camp and they were fine. Welcome to the primier site for two way radios.
