They don't have the distance suggested in the instructions which I think is 5km but we use them in a field down the road and can hear back at home once we're going back up the hill. It comes with a dual rechargeable battery and desktop charger pod and is waterproof up to 1 metre for up to 1 minute making it ideal for use in wet conditions.

With a battery life of 89 hours, you can use this Binatone two way radio all day long without the hassle of recharging time and again. I've noticed its not just no CTCSS, they don't actually have any squelch control at all, so they're obviously trying to keep it simple. One thing it doesn't seem to mention in the manual - is it OK to leave them on the charger permanently?

Have once heard someone elses voice through them as we must have picked up on someones signal, bit eery and funny. It doesn't solve the problem completely, because you still only have 8 channels to carry all the traffic - so you may find your transmission gets lost occasionally if someone else is using the same channel but a different sub-channel. I bought it for the 3 year old that I used to au-pair for to encourage her speaking (maybe my English speaking didn't help her french develop too well).

They haven't actually run out of battery despite a few hours of being off the charger, so I would say that they keep enough charge for the time they're required by my 2 daughters. Check that the batteries are inserted correctly, with the "UP" arrow showing and pointing towards the top of the handset. I have given these walkie talkies 4 stars because my daughter is yet to try them outside of the house and with much of a distance between hand sets. They keep switching channels involuntarily so I need to reset them to the same channel so they talk to eachother. For convenience, the radio has a belt clip, allowing users to securely attach it to their person or belongings, providing ease of accessibility and ensuring it does not get lost during outdoor activities or work.Welcome to my site, my name is John and I have been lucky enough to work in horticultural nurseries for over 15 years in the UK. I think the kids would need to be 4+ as they need to understand that they have to hold the button down whilst they talk.

This set is very user friendly, has a wide-range and no interference which I was particularly pleasantly surprised about. My dad got them so he could keep in touch with my mum while he's out in the (quite sizeable) garden. b>Latitude 150\n\nThese Latitude 150 Two-Way Radios provide free communication and are ideal for outdoor activities .Please do not feel any sense of urgency based on our data, we exist only to help you save money in a calm and well-thought out manner.

I’ve tried different batteries, tried the different charging points, checking the batteries, swapping the batteries that do work into the handset but it doesn’t seem to be working. They feel well made (they look as if they could take being dropped by kids) and the belt clip is secure. Actually ok just at VERY close range, and mine have lived on the charge base and have suffered no ill effects.The Binatone Latitude 150 two way radio has a backlit display that lets you read the data easily, even in complete darkness.
