**biggy7** · 21st March 2003

are these rechargable ones?

or do u have to add like 10 batteries in each one

nice price!

**dave208** · 21st March 2003

3 AA batteries for each handset but you can use rechargeables.. think you can use NiMh etc or whatever too but not certain if that would produce any adverse effects (i dont see how it would though)

I've used these before they're really good. They worked in a factory with loads of high powered cables etc running around and the radios functioned perfectly. These were my mates.

I bought the exact same pair from argos for about �50 less than a year ago for my dad who is into hunting & walking.

If I lived near asda I'd deffo go & get a pair for �25. The range is great though there are 8 channels and if you live in a town someone could snoop on you easily. The headset is specific to the unit too, though I haven't tried looking for one.

**dave208** · 22nd March 2003

yea i was scanning the channels with one of mine yesterday and picked up someone doing their best policeman impression givin it all the charlie oscar echo. heard someone tellin his mate he'd be round at 4:30 too

**nickstan** · 22nd March 2003

Went to local Adsa on Friday, said they'd never had them. The woman said they must only get them in the very big stores

**Looey** · 22nd March 2003

i work in the swanley store and its really big and we dont stock these?

**smack** · 22nd March 2003

Well disappointed when I got there today.

**dave208** · 22nd March 2003
