...my choice fall to the Oregon Scientific Atlanta PMR TP-329, its specifications (skills) going over the avarage standards. It is stupendous, having a trip with friends with several cars and getting in touch each other with these fabulous devices. Even along the ski run, or inside supermarkets, for a walk on the mountain, every time you could surely find the usefulness of these radios.. Personally, me and my wife, often use them when we go at the ...
...the shopping chart while I search specific produces that interest me.. lol.. The quality of the loudspeacker is wonderful. With a dimension and look of a bar soap, this little and cute station could find place in any pocket. Batteries, 3 x AAA and 700mAh each, rechargeable and supplied, last 21 hours. Inside their lodging exist a switch with witch you can choose between normal batteries or rechargeable ones, in order to prevent demages or explosions ...

Review of Oregon Scientific TP329 8-channel PMR

Makes life easier!

Advantages: Easy to use, very clear
Disadvantages: quite expensive

These things are genius. Like all new parents we wanted something to monitor our baby when we had put them down to sleep and to be confident that they were ok. This is it. The signal is wonderfully strong giving very clear sound reproduction of what your baby is up to. we can hear the slightest squeak out of him! you can also change the volume sensitivity if you only want to hear a cry and not just the squeaking! The temperature in the room where ...
...and the monitor. You can tell the transmitter to play music from the monitor and can even hook your ipod up to it to play babies favourite tunes. The monitor also allows you to record a message of your voice. You can also talk betwene the monitor and the transmitter, and the monitor also features a torch. The Monitor charges off the mains and lasts about 10 hours between charges. Absolutely great and it does not interfere with other wireless devices ...

Review of BT Baby Monitor 150 DECT

Great for outdoor activities

Advantages: Easy to use, inexpensive, very useful, great for emergencies
Disadvantages: Better battery life would be welcome, as would improved range in hilly environments

I just spent a week using Talkr T5s whilst on a skiing holiday in France. They were used to stay in contact with my friends on the mountain, and also carried in case of emergency. Handset range is very much dependant on conditions. Whilst the 6km maximum range can be achived, in practice this was often greatly less if there is something large between the transmitter and reciever. Typically reception was good if my friends were on the same side of ...
...valley then we got no reception at all. The sub-channel system works well, and means that you have much more chance of finding a channel that no-one else is using. We used channel 7-13, which meant that we could only hear channel 7-13, and only people using either 7-13 or the whole 7 channel could listen in. Broadcast quality varies, but is roughly landline phone quality assuming that you are "in range". The handsets are easy to use, especially ...

Review of Motorola TLKR T5 8-channel PMR

My favourite Baby Monitor

Advantages: Charger Cradle, Digital, good range, long lasting, dead simple to use, clear sound
Disadvantages: none for me

When our boy was on his way, daddy had all the fun to look into gadgets for the new era in our life. Now having had an experience with the widely used and available Tomy Baby Monitors I was absolutely sure that I do not want one of those as when being with friends who are using one of these I felt Darth Vader nearby because of all the interference radio noises. After having done some sufficient research I settled with this beautiful machine from ...
...and better ones) and easy to order for around 45 quid from Amazon. I myself bought it for 20 quid used on Ebay and it has now already the fourth child on it. There is not much to discuss about baby monitors as they are supposed to fulfil a very specific task. If you need a camera and/or temperature sensor or any other, for my own use unnecessary, upgrade than look no further. If you are looking for a really good simple Baby Monitor please read about ...

Review of BT Baby Monitor 120-channel

Roger and out

Advantages: Useful littles devices
Disadvantages: none as of yet

...Such an item is the Binatone Latitude which I purchased for £12.99, batteries not included, but acquired quite cheaply from my favourite Poundland. Three AAA batteries are required for each unit and they are easily installed after the removal of the rather large securing screw which holds the backing plate to the main unit. Thereupon the orientation and placement is as per the neat diagram on the inner face of the unit. The replacing of the back ...
...even remotely intend to be submerged for long enough to verify the manufacturer's statement. Batteries in and the rest is pretty simple really. On the front of the units there is the power on button, which when pressed for a few seconds powers up the unit. The small LCD screen will light and display the current battery power by means of a small 4 bar graph at the bottom of the screen. To the right of this and looking extremely similar is the volume ...
