Review on Arcshell Rechargeable Long Range Two-Way Radios: 6 Pack Walkie Talkies with Earpiece, Li-ion Battery, and Charger Included by Rob Allen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Solid little cars. Good work!

Bought for my shop. We have workers in several rooms throughout the building and are on their feet a lot. Most people don't sit still at their desks, where a landline phone system can come in handy. Previously, if we needed something from someone in another area, we all had to call each other's private cells or walk to each other's offices. It was frustrating (especially when there was poor cell service) and inefficient, so I bought them. They work great! Walkie-talkies alone aren't the ideal solution for our communication needs, but we're quite happy with these little guys. They feel solid and won't break in your hand. The volume has a wide range. Communication is good - I never heard my comrades throughout the building and 5 floors below. I even like the color! The only real complaint I have is that there is no visible way of knowing which station you are in. You have to toggle the watch face for the voice to tell you the number. A little annoying, but doesn't detract from the experience. I never had a hearing problem with my comrades throughout the building and 5 floors below. I even like the color!

Pros
  • 16 channels; each radio has the same frequency on each of the 16 factory channels; 16-position mechanical rotary channel selector switch; When you turn the knob to change the channel, the synthetic voice will tell you the channel number
Cons
  • High price
