Key Buying Decisions

Range reality

Advertised ranges assume open line of sight. Buildings and terrain cut range dramatically — we explain realistic expectations.

Licensing

Many consumer radios are licence-free, while higher-power business radios may require one. Rules vary by country, and we flag this.

FAQ

How far do walkie-talkies really reach?

Often a fraction of the box claim once buildings and hills are involved — sometimes under a mile in town, more in open country.

Do I need a licence?

Licence-free consumer bands exist in most countries; higher-power or business use may require one. Check local rules before buying.
