If i buy 2 sets of these

Would we all be able to talk to each other like the first choice?
Bit confused when it comes to these
Thanks
Yep. They all conform to the PMR446 standard. If you have a little more cash however, invest in a decent pair from a firm called Entel, the PMR446 range is called the EuroWave and pretty much are the best "budget" model to get. I use budget loosely as they cost around £50 - £60 each, but work with the furthest range.
Yeah dont buy cheaper stuff, they dont work over more then a few hundred feet when your on the move and your constantly having to switch channels.
If i was to buy some more id splash some cash, although when me and the boys did Europe we did it without walkie talkies and only maps, no satnav or anything
Its something were only going to be using once. So didnt wanna spend a crazy amount of money on.
Buy a decent set then ebay them after the trip, or ebay a set now?
Yeah good idea above, trust Dan it'll be a waste of money if you buy cheap ones, especially in Germany when if your 2-300metres further up the road, you could be 50-100metres higher up the hill too, and behind some massive pines!
i got a set from ebay that were supposed to be 25 mile range. they work for about half a mile if that and the quality was poor, could barely make out what anyone was saying.
I use the MOTOROLA EM1000R (20 miles)
Pick up a cheap set on e-gay and your sell them on in no time atall if you wish to get some money back !
