J Darcy 5,871 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 i bought these two walkie talkies early this season and have found them to be invaluable in many ways. i would recommend them to anyone for their respective pursuits. Communications can be vital and i was reminded of this only the other week. My mates dog had ran a roe we had accidentally spooked and his dog disappeared...My mate waited where we had last seen the dog whilst i went looking for him, i eventually found him nearly half a mile away around the other end of a sewage works. The dog had been unable; to return due to a very high fence....whats could have been a disaster had a happy ending....recommended! JD Quote Link to post
Lennard 10 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 with the changing times aye...JD...can you pick them up on a scanner? Quote Link to post
tiny tim 22 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 how much are they?what sort would you reccomend.. Quote Link to post
J Darcy 5,871 Posted February 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 i beleive they cost about £60 for my pair, but the price is coming down. Currently argos had a set of four for £60 and i know they are good. These BT ones have great range on them. Personally , i would never try to beat woods or go lamping without them....Its so invaluable to know whats going on... Quote Link to post
