A few hours ago I was at Marshall's, and I was looking around. I came across this little vintage little walkie-talkie, it was small like a baby. It was dirt cheap, for like $6.99. It's almost like it is like an old-school walkie-talkie before we had the ones we have now. When you first turn it on, it's all static, until somebody talks, of course. But it sounds like shit, and it's more muffled than anything, worse than even a little waterproof cobra or Uniden walkie-talkie or even the ones you buy at Walmart. In fact, the range is shitty that you can only hear someone from 15 to 20 feet. I was expecting because of how small it was, maybe it would just transmit throughout the whole house and maybe the neighborhood. I was just testing it by going upstairs and having somebody have the walkie-talkie downstairs, and this walkie-talkie definitely screams cheap. Also, there's no changing channels, it's just on one frequency. There's only one button on this walkie-talkie, and that's to do Morse code. What you do is you hold down on the push to talk button and hit the button and it transmits a tone. That seems really cool, but the problem is it's probably a Chinese maid shitty walkie-talkie. There's no volume button, so you can't turn up and down the volume, which is bad for a walkie-talkie that sounds real muffled when communicating. Not to mention the fact that it has only one channel, leaves me to believe that it was like an old-school walkie-talkie from the 70s/80s. In fact, I don't even think it uses FRS (family radio service) GMRS Since these two bands share frequencies of 22 channels. But I don't know what band this thing could be operating on, Mers? Did I also mention that the antenna is smaller than a penis? I bet I could remove this one. Has anybody seen this one? #Walkie-talkie #Radio #Cheap #China
@Blindy hey! that would be perfect for us! @pooch754 and I need something that will do morse code tones, so we can talk to each other. We'd always be in the same room, we just need something that will do the tones.
@RaineyDay @pooch754 That's good. Because the speech sounds terrible, so using morse would probably be better.
@Blindy @pooch754 I just bareley started learning code, and we have nothing to do the tones, so we have to vocalize them. Scott said that it would be better if I had something that made the tones though.
@RaineyDay @pooch754 Luckily, when you push the button the radio will play the noise, so no vocalizing needed. You'll push the push to talk button, and the other button which will play the tone.
@Blindy @pooch754 that sounds really awesome.
