You can opt for the supplied rechargeable batteries if 17 hours standby is enough, or swap for AA for that alkaline boost.

It may state that the device has a range of 10 kilometers for example, but this is in perfect circumstances and conditions and you are very unlikely to get anywhere near what is claimed. In addition, it offers other considerable benefits, such as up to a 20% larger range and reduced licence costs, for example.

Again Dewalt has you covered and these DXPMR800 radios have been tested and certified with an IP67 rating, meaning that you won’t have to panic if you drop them in a puddle. The perfect size for our testers’ hands, these compact walkie talkies had instant appeal thanks to their vibrant, contrasting colourway. The LED display can also be hidden to prevent snoopers hijacking your channel which can be useful in busy places where other radio users may be present.

Importantly, they are also designed for daily or intensive use, thanks to their long-lasting battery life. Keep connected and protected during your extreme outdoor activities with this radio’s fully waterproof design, emergency features and wide range. Whatever their make (when comparing Motorola, Midland, Mitex, or Kenwood radios) or model, all of our PMR 446 licence-free radios are compatible with each other, for ease of purchase!

A walkie talkie can get you back in contact with them instantly if you lose sight of them, allowing you to track them down and avoiding a heart attack in the process. The only thing I didn’t care for with these walkie talkies is that the belt clips are really not that secure at all, but that’s an easy thing to find a solution for, so it’s not realy big complaint. Although there’s no volume control, the walkie talkies are loud and clear, so it’s not really an issue.
