There was a time not too many years ago, that two way radios were the latest in personal communications technology. However; they were quite expensive and the best, most powerful models were slightly smaller than a carton of cigarettes, with a retractable antennae that extended out about three feet. For people such as hunters and fishermen though, they were just what they needed to keep in touch. The advent of the cell phone pretty much put an end to all that, until just recently when the two way radio seems to have been making a comback.

So Much Easier and Convenient to Use

Todays two way radios are the size of a compact cell phone, packed with convenience features and come in sets that cost a mere fraction of what two way radios used to cost only a few years ago. But why would a group of people such as a mother and her daughter going to the mall need two way radios when there are cell phones that they can use? The first convenience plus, is that two way radios don't have to be dialed, so you just click and talk. This means that as they each shop around the mall they can instantly and conveniently talk and comparison shop with each other.

A Great Cell Phone Alternative for Kids

Another great convenience feature, is that they are so much cheaper than cell phones to buy and to operate and if they are lost or stolen there is nothing to cancel, nor any worries about personal phone numbers falling into the wrong hands. Also, many parents today lament the fact that as much as cell phones do solve many parental communication problems, they do wish that their young children really didn't have to own a cell phone at such a young age. By handing their youngster a compact yet powerful two way radio to put in their pack as they head out the door for school in the morning, they get the benefits of a cell phone with out the problems of a cell phone.
