Whether you’re a parent who doesn’t want to be constantly interrupted by texts and calls from your children or a camper in the middle of a remote wilderness, a walkie talkie can be an invaluable tool for safe, easy communication. These handheld radios allow you to communicate with fellow campers, hikers, hunters, backpackers and more via a closed, shared radio channel.
A basic walkie talkie typically resembles a mobile phone handset, with a speaker built into one end and a microphone in the other. To transmit, users press a “push-to-talk” (PTT) button. Because the radios operate on a single shared frequency, only the person pushing the PTT button can talk and anyone on the same channel can hear them. Other features may include a battery life indicator, volume control and a selection of channels to choose from.
Parents use walkie talkies with their kids to help them feel independent and keep track of where they are, especially in busy public places like playgrounds and school campuses. Children use them to play games such as Marco Polo and hide and seek, and they can tap into their creative side with imaginative adventures like dinosaur safaris or tracking down super villains.
To find the best walkie talkies for your needs, consider what kind of range you need and how advanced you need the device to be. For instance, some models feature a rugged design and holster to help protect the equipment from drops. Others offer more sophisticated features such as privacy codes to prevent people from overhearing conversations or a flashlight for nighttime use.
