Walkie-talkies

Walkie-talkies are mobile handheld radios that can be used at different ranges. Compass24 has walkie-talkies with a range of 5 to 10 kilometres in its range. However, this can vary depending on environmental conditions. A walkie-talkie set contains two devices with which two people can communicate with each other over short distances. When sailing, they play a particularly important role when several people are travelling on different boats and want to communicate with each other easily. It is practical to connect an external microphone to the walkie-talkie, as this can significantly improve the voice quality. The output quality can also be optimised. Headphones can be plugged in via a 5 mm stereo plug to ensure good call quality even in strong winds.

Battery performance is crucial

Walkie-talkies are set to transmit on one frequency. If this frequency is already occupied by other devices, another channel can be selected. Compass24 devices usually have 8 channels available. Thanks to high-quality rechargeable batteries, walkie-talkies have a long operating time and are reliable companions - both for water sports and other outdoor activities. A battery status indicator shows how long the device can still be used before it needs to be recharged. The economy mode helps to save battery power. A desktop charging cradle is very practical near a power socket, as it not only charges the battery, but also stores the walkie-talkies when the devices are not in use.

Walkie-talkie as an all-rounder

Compared to a mobile phone, the walkie-talkie has the advantage that it works independently of the mobile network quality. Especially when boats and yachts are close to the mainland, water sports enthusiasts can communicate over short distances (e.g. boat - mainland) regardless of the strength of the mobile phone network. Many devices have customised additional equipment. Two-channel monitoring, a key lock and an illuminated display are useful functions, as are the search function and squelch. The connection for an external loudspeaker as well as a stopwatch or a belt clip to which the device can be securely attached are also useful features. Many models are equipped with a babysitter function. They can be placed in the bedroom or nursery and send a message when the child cries or is awake.
