Description

The listing, Pair of Walkie Talkies has ended.

Pair of Radio Shack Walkie Talkies - uses a 9v battery in each (not included). 5 channel FM transmission on one and 1 channel on the other. Both have on/off switches and volume control. Operates at 49 MHz. PTT. LEDs indicate on/off and transmission/recieve status. These are great for jobsites, camping trips, or anywhere you need to stay in touch with someone close range without tying up your cellphone. I'll ship free in the US.

Questions & Comments

How far do they each, like in feet?

Not really sure. They are FM, so it could be a very long ways. Is based on interference and such. Not many people use this range of FM anymore, so in most places interference is less. We've used them out at my Mom's place in the country for almost a 1/4 of a mile with no interference. They have worked for us camping at about the same distance. We live in town (next door to a HAM radio tower) and sometimes they get scratchy on us if we use them inside from one end of the house to another. Other times they work great at home. Just depends.

Another cool feature on these is the call button. So even if there is too much interference for a clear conversation, you press the call button and the mate will make a beeping noise. Then whoever has the other set knows to call you on the cell or come see what you need. We used them that way a few times within the neighborhood to call the kids inside for dinner. LOL

LOL. You'll be sorry. As soon as the auction is over something will come up that you'll say "Dang, those walkie talkies would sure come in handy about right now".

i guranteed to get some set of walkie talkies i bid on like 4 different auction one of gotto give me a walkie talkie

but can you pick up truck drivers and /or other walkie talkies

Yes, depending on where you are, their channel, and how far from you. Google 49MHz. This was FM radio in US before it got moved to 88MHz and up. Now it's walkie-talkie, radio controlled toys, some older corldess phones, and some military comm. Won't pick up trucker on CBs. That's 27MHz range, I believe. Was told that in New Zealand these would get TV audio on ch 1-3.
