Some walkie talkies come with a rechargeable lithium battery or can use rechargeable batteries instead. These may be more expensive initially, but can work out cheaper in the long term. Length of range: The range of a walkie talkie is fairly crucial, as it determines how far apart the handsets can be whilst still communicating effectively. Whilst you may find ‘adult’ walkie talkies with a longer range, most children’s walkie talkies have a range of between one and five miles. It is worth remembering however that the range quoted is a maximum, which is more likely to be achieved in wide-open spaces and fields. In built-up surroundings or home environments, the range experienced is likely to be much less. The brand of product you buy can vary in importance, from person to person.

If you’re experiencing delays and lags this is probably due to a user error. In most cases, you may not be holding the push to talk button down long enough. Keep in mind, this button must be held down the entire time you’re speaking. Some users tend to forget to release the button once they finish talking which can also cause issues with transmission. Cutting Out Extremely long-range– Up to 6 km in open space, perfect for adventures in the countryside or playing in a local park. If you’re using an analog walkie talkie, then cutting out is a common problem. Most models of analog walkie talkies don’t offer the impressive range that digital models do.

Ease of use: How easy are the walkie talkies to use? Are they intuitive for younger users? Do you need to hold the button down to talk? Some walkie talkies offer Voice Operated Exchange (VOX) capabilities which enable children to send messages without holding down the button to speak. Instead, the microphone stays on and automatically transmits when it registers a voice. VOX can be helpful for younger children who may struggle or forget to hold down the talk button. If your walkie-talkie has accidentally been set to transmit mode this can also cause constant beeping. If this is the issue, then you can try disconnecting the microphone and reconnecting it. You should also switch the walkie-talkie on and off a couple of times. If the brand you buy is important to you, our best advice is to spend some time writing up your own list of ideal brands.

If you’ve found that you’re not able to power up your walkie-talkie at all then make sure the power connection is okay. If the power is correctly reaching the radio but it still won’t switch on then you’ll need to have your walkie-talkie sent in for repairs. Static Endless fun– They can be used for trekking, orienteering, at a theme park, or just for hide and seek! If you’re having issues with audio quality due to the speaker, then you may simply just need to clean the grill on your walkie-talkie. Speaker grills are designed to protect the microphone and speaker from debris and dust. Over time, grills tend to collect a buildup of dust, dirt, and debris. Additionally, metal fillings and dirt will clog up to grill which will lead to performance problems. To clean, all you have to do is wipe down the grill carefully for an instant boost in walkie-talkie performance. If you want to protect your speaker in the future, then I recommend buying a custom fit carrying case which is designed to keep the speaker and grill free from dirt and debris. Spotty Reception
