Licence Free 2 way radios are often called Walkie Talkies. They are a cost effective, easy to use simple day to day radio. Walkie Talkies are sometimes described as PMR 446 (or Private Mobile Radios) Radios and operate at the 446 MHz frequency.
Because there is no licence to pay they are ideally suited for family fun and recreational activities, or for businesses that need to stay in touch over a short range. Other uses include:
Walkie Talkies have a limited range compared to other 2 way radios. In a straight line you can often achieve 5-7 miles but this can be as low as 1-500 meters in an urban environment. They have 8 channels, with each channel having a further 38 CTCSS (think of them as sub channels) on each channel. These combinations will always give you a channel to talk on.
Because they are licence free, Walkie Talkies are cross brand compatible, meaning that you can talk between Motorola Walkie Talkies, Icom Walkie Talkies or any other brand that you may have.
For cheap Walkie Talkies our range starts at around £25 going up to £100 for twin pack or heavily featured radios.
