princess auto carries the massive walkie talkies that look like they are off the boat from 'nam. I believe that they have batteries but im not too sure I was busy and didnt notice if they did or not but im just putting that out there.

ya saw those ..... with todays technology, the little frs radio are smaller, lighter and for sure work. Speaking of princess auto they have earpieces for the frs radio's on sale $2.99 . They are "southwestern bell" brand and work decent for 3 bucks. (supposedly these headsets also work on cell phones as well) I did buy one when it was $4.99 and it works with my motorolla frs but not my panasonics.

Any chance up picking up a couple? Do they work? Do you take EMT?

They'd make excellent paperweights.....

Ya, for sure I will buy them today and test them. Could we set up a trade instead of EMT?

Curses!!! there is no batteries in them. Do you still want these as props?

Did it list what it needs for batteries? I've got some contacts with a radio/scanner/etc dealer that has some ~old~ stock....

Subject: Re: military style walkie talkies Mon 21 Apr 2008, 11:31 pm

no but I can check on wednesday. the batteries would be about two inches wide by two inches high by about one and a half inches deep. the walkie talkies have two prongs coming out of the bottom of it. ill find the specs soon.

uhhh other than being green no. If I get a chance tomorrow I'll take a pic with my camera phone, if I remember right there was a channel a+b switch and about half the size of those. Same era though, pretty plain.

correct. I had to spend the rest of my pocket change on a gas bill so those walkie talkies will have to wait if knightwarrior doesnt pickem up

They've been there for 6 months so I don't think they'll go any where soon. I did notice in the instructions about using an external antenna to use them like stringing up a 12 foot array.....

Bah, sorry been away this week. If anyone picks them up I will buy or trade for them. Got lots of VN M16 mags for trade (heh heh, make a VN kit!)
