Two Way Digital Radios!! -Partial Review
So i got the radios for 50 bucks (helps when you have friends at best buy that can give 40 percent off) at best buy.
My first impression, the radios look pretty nice, kinda of got the feel of the very old cell phones we used to use. Batteries were absolutely dead so i didn't get to even see if they worked right away.
Came with a headset and a charger. So after getting them both charged up, my first impressions are not to good.
You have to go through a small set up to get the radio to even work with the other radio. The Cool thing is that you have a contact list. So what you do is enter the channel number of the other radio and assign a name to it. So it don't matter if your on channel 10,000 and the other radio is on 20,001, you can just go to the contact list and hit the call button on the radio you want to talk to and you can get connected.
The reason my first impressions aren't so good is because i've ran into some issues with text messaging and when trying to call the radio, the other radio doesn't pick up.
Pics' and a full review i'll post soon.
So i guess a company called eXRS came out with the first consumer kind, digital two way radio.
This radio actually gets it's own FCC certified band on the 900mhz range. So it's not using the FRS or GRMS frequencies.
It also i guess (if in range) you can send text messages. Now what really gets me is that this device is a consumer digital radio. First of it's kind to consumers as far as i know.
So i will be going to best buy in a couple days and buying this radio and i'll post a review on here.
PRetty interesting to see this for consumers.
