Motor Mouth Maul Being Heard With Kids $5 Walkie Talkie

[IMD262]

So did the PTT buttons, battery compartment doors, and other extraneous protrusions.

I hope your Lloyd's units were as durable as my old Viscount 100 mW, channel 14, **full 23 channel receive -- all at once!** jobs. They took a beatin' and kept on QRM'in.'

Don't you mean " kept on getting QRM'ed " ?

This is crazy, my kids came and woke me up out of a nap saying daddy daddy we hear people talking on our walkie talkie, are they talking back to us.

I got out of bed and listened very closely and heard a man say, "The West Coast Beast Got Down!" I was thinking, no way lol no way....so I started my video recorder to document this.

Just imagine how many other kids on the East Coast yesterday was listening to the Super Bowl, 27.025 MHz on therd Dollar General $5 Walkie Talkies.

You aren't associated with Mustang 131 are you? If so, you've been cleaning MMM's clock out here on the east coast.

The receiver in these kids walkie talkies have no selectivity and poor sensitivity. The IF section uses no filtering so that they can receive the entire band. The designers knew the things wouldn't talk to hardly anyone so to keep the kids from getting bored they did their best to give them something to listen to.

We should expect them to hear the strongest stations. It doesn't matter if they happen to be 1200 miles away in DX. Picking up someone 10 miles away is much harder for these units although it doesn't seem as impressive.

Well, you'd think so, but there was this cab company not far from my neighborhood on channel 14, and well... you know how kids are...

"It's them kids again. YOU KIDS GET OFF OF HERE!!!"

Whoops.

Interesting theory. However, I think, in actuality, the designers' intentions weren't all that altruistic; they more likely wanted to manufacture something as inexpensively and easily assembled as possible.

That be I. My guess is his circular polarization is costing him 3 db's..on paper he should be killing me.

I'd listen too MMM on my Walkman if I could.
How does it go? Haters gonna hate...

Back in the day, those wide Walkie Talkie receivers got many a kid interested in ham radio!!

 

[Grogan]

I should have bought the kids a cobra and antenna instead of a computer with dial up AOL I think of all the $hit and mass Kaoss they would have caused instead of aol pulling the plug on us for the kids shutting down chat rooms with illegal chat room programs......

 

[Grogan]

OH they are all grown'Healthy'Happy and law abiding but they did cause some problems with AOL chat rooms back in the dial up days

Brings back memories. RAINMAN, CRIS, and an overhead or internal acocunt and you were in biz. Although most just ran script kiddie "proggies". They had some major security issues then.
