Two Way Radio Base

If you guys need detail I can post more, but right now I have an extra handset and want to know if it is possible for somehow making it so that it transmits signals through the base so that other two way radios can pick them up and transfer the signals back as understandable speech.

The best place I've found for these ideas is INSTRUCTABLES.COM! This website is for any/all reusable items you may have. There are many GENIUS level ideas and people who will even help you make it happen. Check em out!!!!!

Tired of constantly replacing your portable radios? Ritron Wireless Solutions has the answer.

I am looking for a two way radio (I would prefer CB) that connects two automotive radios and a base over a range of 13 mile/20 kilometers wich is legal and under 120 bucks.

Using legal CB kit it would be unlikely you could get a reliable 20km range. A third of that would be more realistic for base-mobile communications. The only other option is to use more expensive PMR equipment.

Price: $89.99

Features VOX automatic voice-activated operation, and a USB port for charging cell phones, radios, etc.
Rechargeable battery can be powered by dynamo hand crank, or included AC or DC power adapters
Emergency radio with 22 GMRS/FRS channels and all 10 NOAA weather channels with alert function
Includes AM/FM radio reception, a clock with an alarm function, and a 3-LED flashlight
Constructed to be water resistant, and backed by a manufacturer's 3-year warranty

I'm looking at buying a set of Two-Way radios for my small consulting business. I would like as long of range as possible since I know you get less distance due to building obstructions & weather conditions. Both radios should have a recharging base they plug into. I've seen up to 18 mile GMRS radios but would like to see if I can find longer range. I can also apply for a FCC license if needed.

I'm looking into this as an alternative to wireless phones since I would only be speaking with one other person 95% of the time (my dispatch). Using these type of radios would cut down on the need for a larger calling plan with phones since most of my clients are within the same 5-10 mile range. I don't need private/encrypted channels but the FRS channels around here are too busy with other users.

Use of GMRS requires a license. In a business, *each person* using the radios would require their own license. Businesses cannot get a GMRS license as they are non-individuals. "Consumer grade" GMRS radios with those false 18 mile range claims will not work for the application you need. Range is typically 2 miles or less.

With a base station, and a mobile radio, you could swing this range with GMRS. *Maybe* a base and a handheld would work. You need that antenna height.

OR, you could go with something in the Business Radio service. A repeater would be needed. You probably need to consult with a reputable communications company and have them set you up. Equipment costs, licensing, and repeater lease fees could get costly.

Price: $79.99

Pair of two-way radios with up to 35 mile range
iVOX hands-free communication without the need for an audio accessory
VibraCall vibration alert or 20 different call tones
11 weather channels (7 NOAA) with alert features
22 channels each with 121 privacy codes for superior interference protection

What I mean is not using Push to talk services offered by phone companies but convert them to be completely peer to peer based. So you can send voice DIRECTLY from one phone to another, unlike a regular call which first goes to the phone network THEN to the other phone. Is this possible?

no you cant
if you try you will might damage your phone

I work for a taxi firm at home and use a motorola radio,it was fine for weeks then started playing up sometimes I cannot hear drivers and sometimes they cannot hear me at all, this is only odd days and once it starts lasts for hours, do I need an ariel or is the problem from the main base unit as the quality is useless and makes work impossible, yet sometimes it is clear as a bell, please help!

You must have a service shop to handle problems like this. Take it in and have them check it out. If I had to guess, I'd say it could be a bad coax, but it could be many other things.
