2-way radio advice

[cbsteh]

Has anyone have any experience using 2-way radios? Can they work between 2 people in the same building but on different floors, or between 2 people in separate buildings but the buildings are next to each other?

I know there are many factors that affect connection but I want to know how reliable these 2-way radios are. Or are they good only in open fields?

Thanks.

Much thanks. I thought so too. I'll just ask a security guard on how effective they are within buildings.

those guards are using the line type...so its clearer if u want to depend on frequency it will be very bad unless open space.

Not sure how far the range but my friend use before in Redang. That area mobile phone coverage is bad so they use walkie talkie. Both staying different area so they contact each other with that....

mine can use within klang valley but only can monitor as i need a licence in order for me to communicate with others, 9w2 xxx.

So that is the one bro. csbteh asking about. My wife was also talking about this when we visited a friend's house in Sierramas. Two buildings, yes I call building because two 3 storeys high building next to each other. Total 16 rooms, 4 kitchens, 4 halls, 2 family area hall, servant's quarters and even a waterfall in between the two buildings. My wife mentioned if stay here must need walkie talkie.....
