In respect of leisure type walkie-talkies, do all makes share the same channels...in other words, could you use a Binatone set to talk to a Cobra set....I think there is a standard set of 8 channels available generally, but not sure....any advise most appreciated!
Yep you can mate, just use the main channels on the more advanced set as they often have 8 or so main channels with sub channels. Select all the radios to the same number channel and away you go
walkie talkies are a great thing for group road trips, easy to keep in contact! and yes they will all work together if they are all on the same channel.
Never had a problem with it. Signal is strong although not as strong as stated by the manufacturer (30km range but i can confirm it is not, especially in the Alps).
Nevertheless this radio never let me or the group down. Its battery lasts forever as well which of course is an added bonus
