- Is this a real walkie-talkie or a toy?
- It is a toy-grade set for children. It works for short play but lacks privacy codes, weather channels and the rugged build of adult FRS radios.
- What is the actual range?
- The claimed range is about 3 miles, but that only applies in open line of sight. Expect a few hundred feet indoors or between houses.
- How long do the batteries last?
- Roughly one hour of use per set of batteries. Buy rechargeable AA cells to keep the cost and waste down.
- How many channels does it have?
- Three channels. There are no sub-codes, so you may hear other radios on the same channel.
- What comes in the box?
- Two black handsets. Batteries are usually not included, so check before first use.
- Is it good for hiking or camping?
- No. The short battery life and toy build make it a poor choice for the outdoors. A basic FRS radio serves better.
