Hey folks. I’m hoping to drag a few recommendations out of you all for a set of walkie talkies. I haven’t used any since the 80’s when I was a kid and really have no idea where to start.
The idea is keep a set up at the Ranch to help my brother, my dad, me and the kids keep in touch while running around up there. So here’s what I think I’m looking for:
-good range. The Ranch is pretty much at the top of a small mountain in West Virginia and is only 11 acres so this may not be an issue but I feel like the more range, the moreversatile.-good battery life. Thinking it might be nice to have something rechargeable that will also accept AA or AAA NiMh eneloops or alkalines in case of power outage
-backlit display
-durable and preferably water resistant. If the kids are going to get their hands on them they’ll have take at least a little abuse.
-weather channel might be nice
-Id like to limit the price to $100 or less for a pair
