| 162843 | 2003-07-28 11:04:00 | What alternatives would I have? Would getting cheap walkie-talkies from The Warehouse or some kind of children's toy store, and wiring headsets into them work? | somebody (208) | ||
| 162844 | 2003-07-28 11:12:00 | If you want true duplex (i.e. you have a continuously live mic yet hear the other party, just like a phone) then cheap unfortunately doesn't work. You need to look at professional gear, where the tx and rx frequencies are on different bands, not just different channels. Think $thousands, not $hundreds perhaps. Cordless phones get the closest, and some 900 MHz DECT ones may allow handset to handset (intercom) use, and accept headsets. Again a very expensive solution. |

| 162847 | 2007-06-09 09:54:00 | JaceKiwi - I asked this question about 4 years ago, and fortunately I found ways around the problem (several times actually). In the end, I ended up hiring a combination of fixed-wire comms (http://www.beltpack.com/), and a custom-built unit which interfaced this fixed system with a series of (hired) PRS radios with PTT headsets. While it wasn't perfect, it worked well enough for the event I was managing. Though I didn't test it myself, I believe the (wireless part of) the system had a range of around 1km line of sight, depending on the receiver - as the guy we hired it from said he could listen in to our communications on his van-mounted unit while driving around town. |

| 162848 | 2007-06-09 10:53:00 | I've been thinking about getting a number of these to use as a wireless comm system for concerts etc. What I'm wondering, is if I have an always-on headset mic, will that stop me from being able to listen to others talk? Check out NZ Scanners group. They would have good info on this gear. |
