Walkie-Talkies

[WaterWolf]

What has your personal experience been with walkie-talkies?
Not necessarily experiences involving water-warfare, but just on radio's in general and if you can remember, please say which model or brand you were using.

Thankyou,
WaterWolf.

I've only had limited, albeit very fun experiences with "Walkie-Talkies". I've seen modern ones get great ranges, probably a lot better than the 50-100' range the ones I used would get. I'd imagine that they could be very useful for a full scale water war so long as they could be properly protected from exposure to water, of course.

Simple push and talk operation is the best. These days, were I to get another set (or sets) of walkie-talkies, I'd look for ones that offer multiple channels.

I agree with isoaker, head sets would be the easiest choice, as they would be easier to use on the move. A good coating of electrical tape should protect a walky talky. Overall though, i think walkie talkies would be of best use in massive water wars, to aid in squad coordination.
