Review on Motorola Talkabout T42 radio, 3 pcs. by Boguslawa Khalifa ᠌

Such a set of walkie-talkies is very convenient for communication between parents and a child or a foreman with workers within the dacha / village area and the immediate surroundings. It is clear that the actual range depends on the number of walls between the speakers, but at least a small number of wooden walls and metal doors are definitely not a hindrance to them. I also had a normal signal underground, in a caisson with metal walls. It is very upsetting that batteries or accumulators, according to conversations 10-15 minutes a day, are really enough for a day or two, with round-the-clock switching on. You should always have a spare set. And with prolonged use of the battery - not an option at all. Batteries only! Yes, and those so that everyone is always in touch, it is desirable to have 5 sets for 3 walkie-talkies. Well, a charger that allows you to charge 6 batteries at the same time. Well, the fact that the battery charge level is simply impossible to control is, of course, VERY bad. The signal announcing that the batteries are dead may not be noticed: it is issued once (seemingly), and the radio then turns off. That is, a person may not notice that he was left without a connection. And if you don’t stock up on extra batteries, then for a long time. Within the dacha array, this is not critical, but in the forest it is already force majeure. It is clear that these walkie-talkies are more like a toy, making them obviously flawed is completely ugly. Which, however, in our time - alas, is already the norm. So, in general, the impression of the radios is rather positive, but there are nuances .
