xtn446

Advantages: good clear sound, nice big buttons
Disadvantages: quite big overall

...I belive the xtn446 to be one of the best pmr446 walkie talkie available. for those of you who dont know pmr446 means license free walkie talkies. they can be used in most of europe but not the usa. pmr446 is a short-range communication system what is ideal for leisure, family or business use. the radios need no license and there are no call charges to pay. this radio provides instant communication at the touch of a button, and has primarly been developed for bussiness use.

Review of Motorola XTN446 8-channel PMR

Beam Me Up Scottie.

Advantages: Free Talk Time. Versatile.
Disadvantages: Limited Range.

...the Argos catalog you'll discover to 2 whole pages devoted to them. No longer are walkie talkies the private domain of police and security men .

Review of NTL TWR501 (2 Way Radio)

A quality robust 446 Radio from Motorola

Advantages: Robust, User Friendly, Good features
Disadvantages: Fairly expensive, no vibrate, expensive accessories

...Motorola T5512 Overview The Motorola T5512/22 is a short-range two-way radio, which operates on the PMR446 frequency giving 'up to 3km'. These radios can be used across Europe and are an ideal way to keep in contact with friends, family and colleagues for a range of activities. These radios are at home with Sports Centers, Skiing Holidays, Building Sites, Family Holidays and more. The 5512 are available singularly or as a double pack in blue. For approx. £10 more however the 5522 comes with NiCd batteries and charging pods ? well worth the extra and comes in black. I have the latter but all the features are identical except for the colour. A set of T5522's including charging pods and batteries can be had for around £80, this compared with a cost of £60 for the BT Freeways (with charger and ptt headset) and around £60...
