Hi All,
We often use a cheap little pair of Chinese "Audioline" walkie
talkies (don't know the 'power'). Nice and light, and reasonable
range, espcially if not too much vegetation, etc. Good for up to a
couple of km in most situations, and each uses 4 re-chargeable AAA
batteries. Got them at one of the hardware chain stores a few years
ago reasonably cheaply.

Has anyone had experience of using these in the field? We live far
from any mobile phone coverage and there have been times when 2 of
us have been searching for birds and it would have been really
handy to have been able to call them up to come over and see
something special. I'm interested in the best possible range. It
would be helpful if they took AA batteries but I guess not
essential. I tried a fairly basic Uniden pair yesterday with a
claim of up to 4km. They were marginal at 1km and useless beyond.
Any suggestions?
