UK Walkie-talkies 2017

[Luciferknight4]

Hi guys tryna settle an argument with my old man as he didn't believe me that I boosted my Retevis H-777 (1 of 3) Signal range in built up area from 2.5 mile to 3.8 by simply placeing the third handset 1.9 mile away from the first and second directly in between handset one and two

I’ve been in a similar situation, trying to find reliable walkie talkies for use in the woods. After trying out different models, I found that digital pocket https://www.radiowarehouse.com.au/collec...tal-radios works really well for short distances, even when there are trees and slopes. They’re easy to charge with USB, so using a solar charger is no problem. I’ve used them in spots where line of sight wasn’t great, and they’ve done the job without running out of battery too quickly.

walkie talkies are no good for where I live, too many hills.

You don’t say which model(s) you’ve tried, but it’s an Australian site, are they UK legal ?, do they ship to the UK ?, prices seam very high even at two dollars to the pound. Baofeng’s are a much better deal and easy to get.
