Lmfao!!!

jonno howz about you record one of the convos

@Dave...... I seriously doubt that as a walky talky uses the wrong crystal sets, years ago you could pick it up on am radio on a very atmospheric day :)

@15..... Sorry dude, I did'nt see this and did'nt think of that, quite a bit went on :(

Jonno :cool:

really we did. it was never clear and the had to be practically on our street but we did pick em up

Ah I see, you picked up co channel interference, 99% of toy walky talkies work on 27megs (same as toy radio control cars etc), but if the transmission is close enough it's possible it could have interfered, thats what used to happen on am radio.

You can get a scanner for about £20 that will pick it up, but like I said, they 2 way, 2 different channels, 1 for base, 1 for mobile.
Unless you have 2 scanners or a dual channel set (upwards of £200) you have to channel hop at lightening speed :lol:
btw, the above I do have :D Well it's not mine but it's in the house :shifty:

Jonno :cool:

did you think i was saying it was efficiant or sufficiant or useful, whatever :ermm:

No, merely educating you :P and explaing why you got it :)

Jonno :cool:

you've made me question myself now :(

how come ten years ago we had cheap ones that pick stuff up. now i have some that go about a mile and a half i cant pick anything out of the white noise :unsure:

Because it's solid state now, not crystals, plus they are set to frequencies no longer used by anything but them, vhf 27-50megs :)

It's the same pricipal as when you used to copy video's from the rent shop, then they started encoding them so you had to by a booster decoder for £70 :frusty:

Technology works against us as well as for us.

Jonno :cool:

ive copied vhs for years, stop talking shite please.

Please SD, many titles from rent shops for the past 8-10 years have been coded so when you copy it's shit, I like perfect copies.
You go hire a new movie on vhs and copy it without a decoder, see what you get.
Not all but many are, dunno so much now cos I don't bother but a few years ago nearly all new movies were coded.

That's a fact so please don't tell me I'm talking shit. :)

Jonno :cool:
