I am trying to figure out what walkie i need to buy, the one that was recommended to me is not for sale and i cant figure out if the other options will let me hear one channel and talk on it (work) and listen to another (fm) like is discribed in this post from another forum, that thread was old so i didnt feel like resurrecting it.
"You'll need a MURS radio to do this. Cheapest units run about $100 or so. The Moto units we use in the stores cost about $200 each.
There are cheaper options, but then you start skirting FCC regulations on their use. I personally use one of these https://anytonetech.com/TERMN-8R , it is legal to use on MURS, but I'm also a ham radio geek so it does much much more when I want to get on other radio frequencies....
One big bonus "feature" is that with that radio I can have my earpiece in, be listening to any FM radio station I want and when someone starts talking it'll instantly click over to them. After a few seconds of silence it goes back to the radio station I was listening to before. This is especially great when I'm stuck in the store and the game is on."
Sorry like i said newb qustion tl:dr Listen/talk on one channel fm radio on other but hear both, walkie ideas
