Thinking about buying some walkie-talkie radios, but you are not sure which would be the right radio for you?
Shopping for the right model of walkie-talkie can be difficult. We have grouped the walkie-talkie radios reviewed into a few categories, so that readers can focus on the type of walkie-talkie that they need, and then read detailed reports on the various radios available.
Most "consumer" and small business walkie-talkie users will not want to be bothered with obtaining a radio licence from Ofcom. So they will be looking at walkie-talkies that do not NEED a licence.
There are numerous factors you need to consider for something as small as a walkie-talkie. There are several models available in the market and obviously you don’t want to waste money on a walkie-talkie radio that doesn’t fit your requirements.
For some walkie-talkie users, having to carry around a chunky "black box" "security guard" style radio is not what they want. They want a small, light radio that can slip into a small pocket, or clip to a belt or other clothing and that is so light in weight that they hardly notice that they are carrying it.
These radios offer higher power output then the "licence-free" walkie-talkies, and will therefore have longer range.
We sell several different models of walkie-talkie that offer various degrees of water-resistance, and some walkietalkies that are actually "waterproof" and completely immersible.
