Great Price for a 2W portable CB, don't need another CB but got this set anyway… pick it up tonight.

this seems to be a decent brand - Anaconda stocked loads of this brand.

These are rechargeable with USB-C.
Don't believe the "Ultra 2W transmit power" distance/range advertised, I used a GME 2W and the max range is around 4-7km in regional areas

here's the site descriptions -

    Good price, paid $80 before xmas.

  • bboz on 13/01/2022 - 18:54

    I'm a complete noob with these types of radios. If I was to buy these and my mate had another brand of UHF handheld radio, would these communicate? Is it a simple case of tuning the same channel?

    I got a pair of these. They were terrible. Could only do 200-300m line of sight. Couldn’t even for 100m. Not like of sight. Returned them and bought GME ones.

    • Sevenofnine on 13/01/2022 - 18:58

      reviews for this seems ok ! were your pair defected ?!

    • Phoebus on 13/01/2022 - 19:43

      Rated 2w if it can't do 2km take it back.

      • tonyjzx on 13/01/2022 - 21:19

        yeh that makes no sense…. so much power and 100m lol? how

    • coxymla on 13/01/2022 - 22:52

      My kids can take one unit to the park at the end of our street and we can communicate with them (200m away according to google maps) from inside our house.

  • John Doh on 13/01/2022 - 19:46

    Don’t you need a license to use these?

  • Timm on 13/01/2022 - 20:10

    I've been looking for a set of radios or walkie talkies for camping and kayaking etc. Would these do the job?

    • LowRange on 13/01/2022 - 20:22

      Yes but may want to look at water resistant units.

    Consistent 2km in an urban environment with those stubby antennas and 2W is ambitious, rural settings OK.
    A pair of Baofengs on ebay for that money would give the same ambitious but equivalent claim of power but way more capable+flexible with regard to frequency and modes.

  • megadeth on 13/01/2022 - 21:32

    How do these compare with Uniden UH35-4 (which is 0.5W and claims a >3km range). Can anyone please comment who has used these?

    • tonyjzx on 13/01/2022 - 22:21
      +1

      the biggest problem with those is that they dont come with batteries so you need to provide your own AAA and you then need to pull the batteries out of the unit to charge them…

      thats not acceptable

    • Sevenofnine on 13/01/2022 - 22:31

      The UH35 are more for kids, or guiding 4wd through the rough stuff (ie, very short distances and you prefer not to yell).
      We got a set, they're using 3XAAA batteries each, lasted around a night chatting when we did some fishing, the kids also used them to talk with other cars in the group, good fun, but annoying for the drivers.

      you'll need at least a 2W or best a 5W if you're hoping the thing could be useful in an emergency without mobile.

    • Deadalready on 13/01/2022 - 23:53

      0.5w is a kid's toy, you practically have to be looking at the person you're talking to. I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't even cover the distance inside your own house.

      3km range is nearly impossible (imho), if you were standing on a salt flat… maybe.

  • Deadalready on 13/01/2022 - 23:56

    Going to share real facts, 5 watt is what we use when we go driving long distance (one per car). It's extremely useful for keeping in contact or warning about when we're going to turn off/stop.

    5 watts is passable because we're mostly outside and in the open but it's not the best. Indoors 5 watts is barely useable…

    Based on my experience I wouldn't even try/bother with 2 watts or less, unless you want expensive paperweights.
