Ian B Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Motorola Handi-com These are 461MHz pre PMR band short range business radios (similar range to PMR). Set comprises two Handsets, 4 NiCad batteries, two mains chargers. Nicads appear to be holding a charge ok (but no warranty!) and the handsets have detachable antennas. Connections for remote headset. £20 the set plus delivery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagle Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hi Ian. I have a few Qs. How short is the range across cars (in reality rather than the 'up to a few km in ideal conditions' that they usually state? Are they loud enough to be used in a Seven? Can an earpiece be plugged in? Do they have a belt clip on the back? Thanks, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian B Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hi Andy, I'll answer as best I can, although it's years since I've used them personally (they were used by my engineers on building sites when testing/tracing cables). I assume you mean range between moving cars - sorry, no idea as we never used them like that. They worked over several floors of large office buildings though! They do go very loud, and I would say you could hear the speaker in a seven if it was say near the handbrake (or clipped to a harness?). They have connections for headset (eg speaker & mic). I guess that also has the facility for a remote push-to-talk button as well (not at home where the units are to check, but it would be very unlikely if they didn't). I "think" they have a belt clip, but again I'm away for a couple of days so can't physically check. What more do you want for £20 😬 HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Thanks Ian. I know it's a very good price. The reason for my apprehension is that a few of us have spent a few quid on walkie talkies in the last few years, so I'm trying to ensure my second attempt is my final attempt at finding the right set.

Ian B Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Fair enough I'm not saying they are as good as professional PMR radios, although they may be, but then a decent pro PMR will set you back around £100 each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
