RB615 Vibrating walkie talkie pmr446 radio

I recently made a review video of this tiny RB615 and came away impressed. It has two features that I ve not seen before on a PMR 446 radio. The first is a two stage call function that can vibrate an other RB615 radio like a text message on a mobile phone. This means you can have the radio in your pocket out of sight and still know someone is calling you. This call function has a second stage which also sends a bleep along with the vibrate. Very useful. The other feature which sets this radio apart is that if you buy 2 or more radios you only have to set the first radio to the settings you require and then clone the others via a transmit from the main radio. Its easy to do and means you do not have to use a computer and program software. I demo this in the video. The rest of the radio is standard legal PMR with usual privacy codes etc. Range wise it only has a small built in antenna but i was able to get clear audio over a few hundred meters in a very built up area. It will transmit much further esp out in the open. Finally the radio also has a removeable "Nokia" type battery which are less than £3 on ebay so if you want to use the radio for longer extended periods its easy to buy extras.

The RB615 is a handy communications device in a small form factor. Fully programmable frequencies let you program is for NZ PRS frequencies, and the progrmmable buttons let you set it up to suit you. The quality of the voice transmission is very clear (in fact better than the radios we currently use from the major brand here in NZ). The radio is easy to use -has a lock fucntion too -so the kids cannot change it inadvertently. Vox (voice activation function) looks useful although I haven't tried that yet.
