Family Two Way Radio

Most of the time I go to this site as they present stuff locally so it's easy to visit local shops from there

And you may get more personnalized service from a store in your area

The Eton AFCFR1000W Hand Crank 2 Way Radioheas 22 GMRS (General Mobile Radio System) with VOX (Voice operated transmission), and 121 privacy codes ...

atleast 18 miles range. so that we can communicate to each other with that miles not below 15 miles. i want to make it 18 for accuracy. we live on a city, so what walkie talkie is the best? thanks and God Bless

Nothing available that will do this. All those radios you see advertised with these outrageous range claims are totally false. I can't even make that range on my amateur radio equipment. (This is direct point-to-point, handheld communications, without a repeater as all consumer-grade equipment is made for)

All GMRS equipment requires a license. With your license you can use repeaters through GMRS. Other options include an amateur radio license, which requires a test.

I'm looking into buying a two way radio for my next skiing trip so I can keep in touch with where my family is on the slopes while I go off piste with my friend.
I want a radio with the largest range but I'm not sure what the largest range is without a licence in the UK and Europe.
Can anyone fill me in on whats what with radio laws in UK and Europe etc and recomend a good set of two way radios that isn't gonna cost the earth?
I was thinking something with a 10 mile range?

10 mile unlicenced? Not a hope in hell.

I have a cheapy pair of PMR446 (no licence req'd) for skiing. As long as we're both on the same side of the mountain (or opposite sides of a valley) then I've never had a problem. Range is about 3 or 4 miles across a valley.

I won't bore you with the laws and regulations, but unlicenced 446MHz radios have a power limit of 0.5W. This can be tweaked by someone who knows what they are doing ;-)

Google for PMR446. Have fun off-piste!

Our bus leaves at seven at night. Where should we go after the show and until our bus leaves? Any suggestions? We are going with another couple and their two children also. (Children are in elementary school). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Please remember our time constraints and that we are unfamiliar with the city.

Rockefeller Center - if you're there on Nov. 28 for the Christmas tree lighting.

A walk along 5th Ave. to see the Shop-window decorations.

A visit to FAO Schwartz - it'd be like visiting a magical land of toys.

"If you operate a radio that has been approved exclusively under the rules that apply to FRS, you are not required to have a license. FRS radios have a maximum power of ½ watt (500 milliwatt) effective radiated power and integral (non-detachable) antennas. If you operate a radio under the rules that apply to GMRS, you must have a GMRS license. GMRS radios generally transmit at higher power levels (1 to 5 watts is typical) and may have detachable antennas."
