About Walkie Talkies

A walkie-talkie is a handheld transceiver that is also known as a two way radio. This type of radio has evolved into a multi-use communication device from its origins in the armed forces and security personnel. Its durability and long range makes it the perfect option for anyone who loves the outdoors and needs to stay in touch with loved ones or friends. Walkie-talkies are built to last and easy to use, so you don’t have to worry about complicated controls and lengthy user manuals!

Walkie-talkies are, in a sense, a free telephone where one receiver can transmit at any time. Unlike a phone, any number of walkie-talkies tuned into the correct frequency can listen. A typical model has a button the user pushes to speak and a number of channels which can be used to broadcast through. As walkie-talkies are for personal use they do not require a license and by using radio signals they do not incur any call charges. This makes them a popular choice for any situation where you may require communications capabilities over distances up to 10km.

Other uses for walkie-talkies include mounts in vehicles so drivers may stay in touch throughout long journeys or an exciting toy for children. Practical uses today include the military and aviation forces.
