Two-way radios reviewed

If you have a few spare moments, you might like to watch the videos below, in which Martin Lorton reviews a bunch of low-cost, small radios that are mainly aimed at the lower end of the market.

There are a lot of these sorts of equipment reviews out there on the internet; see what you think of this one. We’d love to hear your opinion of the accuracy of the review via comments in the Disqus box below.

Please note, however, that the radios shown here are not approved for import into, or use within, Australia. There are strict regulations regarding licensing of radio equipment for use within this country, including a comprehensive (and expensive) approval process. Heavy fines can be applied to those who operate unapproved equipment, or who even just import such equipment.
