Kids wanted a set of these. This is much cheaper than the usual $100-110 they go for. Have even seen 1 of these for $60 in my travels.

Good output of 1 watt. Lots of crappy 0.5w around.

Anyways as usual take it or leave it - though i grabbed one.

Hope it helps someone.

    Micro USB charging of three AA Ni-Mh (six 1000mAh included) Batteries.

    Preferred to the increased fire hazards of lithium. Alas, Do not charge alkaline or non rechargeable batteries.

      illegal (if you get caught)

      The UHF band in Australia is 476.4250–477.4125 MHz, which appears to be outside of the UHF band of the Aliexpress UHF 400-470MHZ one. So it doesn't use the right frequency in Australia.

      They work great and usually no one else is on the Chinese frequencies lol

    • moar bargains on 04/11/2024 - 16:17

      Yeah, they won't work on the correct frequency, so you a) won't be able to talk to anyone except those who have these radios, and b) are liable to legal action if you are caught using these. There are Baofeng versions that can operate on the correct frequencies in Australia, but you have to specifically program them to use them. TBH you're better off just buying local.

        Just owning ones without the check mark could land you in trouble.

    oh pigarse..well maybe inside a 7km long line of sight Faraday cage. 1-2 km in the real world and that's out the back of whoopwhoop in a paddock.

    but good for kids around the neighbourhood

    Range: 7+km

    In flat, open country with no interference. 250m in suburbia, if you're lucky.

    I had a 5W GME and 2x 2W GME that the kids would take to friends house around 250m down the street so we could call them home.

    Less than 250m they could hear my call signal, I got nothing back so we would tell them to come home when the bell rang.

    I have the Baofeng BF-T20 from AliExpress. 2 for ~$30aud.
    Work really well, easy to change channels, rechargeable and come with the earpieces for that extra Secret Agent vibe :)

    • geekcohen on 04/11/2024 - 15:56

      easy to change channels

      Probably operating illegally on those channels and not propertly licensed.

      • moar bargains on 04/11/2024 - 16:21

        Yep, not capable of transmitting on the correct frequencies.
        And someone who buys Baofeng from Ali doesn't strike me as someone who has obtained their amateur radio licence.

          Not sure why all the down votes.
          This model is actually configured correctly for AU and does not require a license.
          One of the reasons I picked that model.
          This is a “walkie talkie” style. Not the full blown UHF radios like the other models.

          • slipperypete on 04/11/2024 - 17:17

            @internet-stranger: Yeah, wtf, with the downvotes…. what's the motive?

          • moar bargains on 04/11/2024 - 17:52

            @internet-stranger: FWIW I didn't downvote, but I don't understand how it's "configured correctly for AU"? The one I found on AE says it transmits between 400MHz and 470 MHz, while Australian UHF channels start at 476.425MHz. So I don't understand how it can transmit on Australian channels, unless the listed specs are inaccurate? And to transmit outside of Australian UHF bands is illegal without a licence.

            I looked at a these sort of radios several years ago, but decided against them because they didn't seem to be capable of meeting local requirements.

            @internet-stranger: Just owning it is illegal, even if re-progammed correctly.

            • internet-stranger on 04/11/2024 - 18:17

              @hotphil: That’s good info. Thank you.
              I have one of the “not so legal” ones and can see these models are working on the correct frequencies.
              But not having the check mark is a valid point.

            Not really. Unless it is locked down then it is illegal to own and operate without the appropriate license.

            This is a “walkie talkie” style. Not the full blown UHF radios like the other models.

            Yeah, "walkie talkie" is just used for sales/marketing when it is actually illegal. If you want something that is legitimate, then buy approved UHF CB radios.

            The "BF-T20" operates on 400-470MHz which requires an Amateur Radio License to even use part of the frequency band and is not even in the UHF CB range which is 476/7MHz. You can see here.

            See this list for UHF Frequency uses:

            • 406–406.1 MHz: Mobile satellite service[3]
            • 450.4875–451.5125 MHz:Fixed point-to-point link
            • 457.50625–459.9875 MHz: Land mobile service
            • 476–477 MHz: UHF citizens band (Land mobile service)
            • 503–694 MHz: UHF channels for television broadcasting

        Don't encourage it and buy illegal radios.

    These really burn through AAA batteries, which limits their use case scenario. They do have greater gain than toy walkie talkies, but this reduces battery life.

    Kids and I had fun with them in the supermarket, mainly. "We have a code brown in Aisle 5. Ah jesus, we're going to need another bucket" etc

    Otherwise they mainly spend time in the cupboard.

    Uniden!!!

  • victorheaven on 04/11/2024 - 16:50

    Do these come with the AAA batteries or do we have to buy separately?

    • Daniel Plainview on 04/11/2024 - 16:58

      Should come with 6 x AAA rechargable Ni-Mh batts.

      I bought this set a year or so ago for use on our property if we get a bushfire to communicate back to my wife at the fire pump etc. Are perfectly good for basic comms, build quality ok.
