We have prepared TOP 5 radios that operate on a free PMR frequency and do not require registration or a license to use. Despite the fact that all walkie-talkies require licensing, law enforcement agencies have no complaints about these models, because. they are technically incapable of disrupting the communication of government agencies that conduct their negotiations on VHF and UHF frequencies. In the comparison table you can compare the specifications of the walkie-talkies from the review, and the full catalog of walkie -talkies is available at this link.

Price, compactness, FM radio, good equipment.
Small communication radius.

Note that, despite the low cost, the equipment of the radio is quite rich. In addition to the standard charging unit and a 1500 mAh battery (which, by the way, is enough for 12 hours of operation), the package contains a removable clip for attaching the device to a pocket or belt and a headset with a 3.5 mm connector and one earphone. In addition, there is a cord for hanging the gadget around the neck. And one more nice moment - the charging unit and the cord are separate, i.e. You can charge the radio, in fact, from any device with a USB output.

An interesting feature is the music receiver. With the press of just one button (labeled FM), the walkie-talkie turns into a regular radio capable of entertaining participants in, say, a picnic, given that both the speaker and the antenna are powerful enough to broadcast and receive any local radio stations.

We emphasize that Baofeng MiNi BF-T1 is not designed for long trips and extreme operating conditions. The case, although durable, does not have protection against dust and moisture, and it does not have shockproof properties, and the maximum communication distance is about 3 kilometers. The distance naturally decreases in dense urban areas or in the mountains. But the model was originally designed for comfortable communication over short distances, so this cannot be called a disadvantage. Especially when you consider that the radio is very small (108x55x21 mm) and light (120 g). At this price, the device is quite possible to buy for children as a fun toy.

The walkie-talkie is great for picnics, shopping trips and short walks in nature, such as fishing.

Compactness, light weight, price.
Headset cannot be connected.

Motorola TLKR T41 is a budget model that has all the necessary functions and perfectly copes with its tasks. Works at PMR frequencies. It has 8 communication channels and a range of up to 4 km in open areas. In fact, such coverage is enough for fishing, picnic or mushroom picking. In a city, mountains or dense forest, the communication distance can be significantly reduced, so you should not take this device on difficult trips.

Upon purchase, you get two walkie-talkies (pair sets are quite common) - compact and easy to use. Weighing just 74g each, it can be conveniently attached to clothing or a belt with the included clip. The device is made of high-quality rough plastic of bright colors, fits comfortably in the hand and has a backlit LCD display. Power comes from 3 AAA alkaline batteries, i.e. Discharging does not threaten you - it is enough to have a spare set of batteries on hand. The charge indicator helps to prevent an untimely shutdown.

You can't connect a headset to the model, which is more of a minor annoyance than a significant drawback. Although if you use the device in security activities, then you can’t do without a headset, and there are situations when both hands should be free and communication is needed. On the other hand, the affordable price covers this small minus.

Motorola TLKR T41 is useful for picnics outside the city, bike rides. This is a great walkie-talkie for family holidays, as well as an interesting and unusual gift for children.

No significant deficiencies were found.

One of the main advantages of this radio is its resistance to any environmental conditions. Tightness at the level of IP67, shockproof plastic case and rubberized buttons allow you not to worry that the device will stop working after bumps, falls, heavy rain or even swimming in the river, although diving deeper than 1 meter may not withstand. Moreover, the model has positive buoyancy due to the shifted center of gravity, i.e. once in the water, it always pops up, and at the same time it also automatically activates the flashlight to make it easier for the user to find the gadget.

The radio operates on license-free PMR446 frequencies and can be paired with any other TLKR radios that operate on these frequencies. Device power of 0.5 W in the presence of 8 communication channels provides a range of up to 10 km. Supplied with 2 Ni-MH rechargeable 800mAh batteries. This is enough for continuous operation up to 16 hours. You can also use 3 AA batteries or larger batteries (up to 1300 mAh). It is important to note that the device is equipped with a microUSB connector. And it comes standard with a dual USB car charger and 2 microUSB cables. This allows you to easily charge the radio both on the road from the car's cigarette lighter, and from any other USB chargers of suitable power.

A distinctive feature of the model is the presence of some security features. The emergency button will help in a difficult situation to call for help. Holding it for 3 seconds turns on the alarm mode. A special emergency alert will sound, the iVOX speakerphone will turn on, and within 22 seconds all members of the group can hear what is happening around you. An interesting point is the clip - it is removable and made in the form of a whistle that can be used to sound a signal.

Motorola TLKR T92 is primarily suitable for lovers of water tourism and fishing, although, of course, it will come in handy on ordinary trips.

No significant deficiencies were found.

The presence of a microUSB connector allows you to charge the device with any adapter with an output voltage of 5 V, for example, from power banks. On the back cover there are 2 contacts for installing the radio in the charging cup (purchased separately). Comes with 2 800mAh batteries that can be replaced with 3 standard AA alkaline batteries. Talk time up to 18 hours.

An unusual decision of the manufacturer was the addition of stickers on the radio to the package. They should help personalize the device so that it can be clearly attributed to a specific member of the travel group. This factor cannot be called particularly useful, but it can be interesting.

A convenient, easy-to-use walkie-talkie is suitable for all lovers of active pastime at home, in the country, in nature, at a festival and on a hike.

The Motorola TLKR T82 Extreme radio set boasts enhanced durability and reliability. IPX4 waterproof rating provides reliable protection from the rain.

Let's note really rich complete set. When buying, in addition to the radios themselves (of which there are two, by the way), the user receives additional accessories: a carrying case, a neck strap, stickers for personalizing the radio, and even two headsets with a microphone. On the one hand, such a number of accessories for other models is almost never found. But on the other hand, it affected the cost. Still, it is impossible to call an inexpensive Motorola TLKR T82 Extreme. The price is quite impressive, although it is quite consistent with the quality. There is, of course, a more expensive option - Motorola TLKR T82 Extreme Quad Price from 7 699 up to 9 797 ₴, but it's worth the money, because it includes four such walkie-talkies at once. A truly complete set that can be provided for the entire group of travelers.

The radio operates on 16 license-free PMR (independent frequency 446) channels. The range is up to 10 km with a receiver power of 0.5 watts. Communication is configured literally with one button - simply and conveniently. It is possible to connect a headset and voice activation function (VOX). The 800 mAh nickel-metal hydride battery provides up to 18 hours of uninterrupted operation. And the ability to use ordinary AA batteries will never leave you without communication.

One of the most useful features is the emergency mode. You can always count on the help of the group in an unforeseen and dangerous situation. And the presence of such an interesting function as room monitoring allows you to use the walkie-talkie even as a babysitter. as well as a remote bite signaling device for fishing. The presence of a silent mode, a vibration signal, will also be a nice bonus. After all, during noisy events it is not always possible to hear a sound signal. A built-in LED flashlight will come in handy when traveling.

The model is universal. Due to its wide functionality, ease of use and increased durability, it will be useful both for lovers of extreme recreation, mushroom pickers, fishermen, hunters, and ordinary families who decide to get out of town with their children.
