    Walkie Talkies

    I am looking into buying some inexpensive ones as I am a live in caretaker of a stroke victim. She has trouble with a cell phone, anyone recommend a simple one with push to talk operation and a solid two mile range? Just for in the yard or neigbhors house or quick beer run? @Peter1469 thoughts?

    Willing to spend more, but it seems that operations get more complicated, I need it KISS. She has one good arm and is half blind.

    Midland X-Talker T-10 two-way radios might work well for you; two miles transmission range is stretching but most likely for your use they should be fine. No FCC license is required for operation as well. You can pick up a set at Dicks for around $30.00. I provided a link for your convenience.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    Ive had bad luck with them, I bought them to communicate with my wife instantly if she had a problem walking the dog, I bought up to a 150.00 pair and every time she turned to a certain distance it would break up. I just had no luck with them
