| Re: Walkie talkies
I've used them on and off for years, mainly for
a. Backing a large motorhome with "her" outside to guide me
b. Skiing
Range is supposedly controlled by law but I have heard they can be tweaked !!
Range is really line of sight but will go through the odd building. In the Alps I've had one go at least 5Km from a ski slope down the valley to my camper van.
But it won't go 300yds over a ridge.
The cheaper ones only have 8 channels (which get very busy on ski slopes.)
The more expensive ones usually have 8x4 channels (Ithink, maybe a lot more - senior moment)
The cheaper ones have lousy microphones and loudspeakers
You get what you pay for, as usual.
I remember sitting on a chair lift once when a plaintiff cry from a friend's son went "Dad, there is no snow down here and the lift is not running" ......... |
