Q: I'm looking for a good "walkie talkie" radio to take skiing with me to communicate in the back-country. Any ideas? Range and battery life are the more important issues for me I think.
Any help would be appreciated!

A: If you are referring to VHF radios, not FRPs, I have used both for on-hill coaching, and have found the Midland to have better battery life. Range is determined more by terrain, Midland offers an extended antenna (about 28" long) which will increase your range dramatically. The only drawback to Midland, I find it hard to push the Mic button with gloves on.

Were can I get a battery and charger for my Motorola GTX two way radio?

what handheld two way radios are waterproof or can take batteries and rechargable?

Written by asianorangutang | Thursday, May 03, 2007



A: Very few handheld, two-way radios are waterproof. I recall one model that was but I don't know if it's still being made. The problem is that if it's underwater, how can you talk into it? They do make custom plastic bags to put the radios in to protect them against rain and such. This works very well, you just listen and talk through the plastic.

I did find one that claims to be waterproof. It's at the link below.

WorldVoice Radio [iTunes link] is a cool little iPhone app that may help do for podcasting what Twitter did for web publishing -- make it easy to send out short, frequent messages. Of course, there's a difference, since WorldVoice Radio does this by letting you publish short podcasts from your iPhone. If you've used Utterli or Audioboo, you have the general idea.

tweetmeme_url = 'http://www.tuaw.com/2009/06/25/tuaw-first-look-a-behind-the-scenes-peek-at-worldvoice-radio/'; tweetmeme_source = 'tuaw'; The app, which was created by Kai Cherry and RnSK Softronics, has just arrived in the App Store. Kai is an occasional guest on the TUAW Talkcast, and he asked a few of the TUAW bloggers to join his beta testing team for WorldVoice Radio. (In the unlikely case that you're not familiar with the concept of beta testing, it's about getting a group of users together to make sure that an app is bug-free and functional prior to going to market.) Follow along as I give you a first look at this intriguing app, and as I beta-test WorldVoice Radio.
