    I wouldn't even consider this unless you have a license but you can mod these to recieve and transmit on a VERY wide band hackaday.com/202…os/ I am licensed and bought 3 just to test this out

    Perfect for knocking out any Simplisafe alarm system
    I'm not advocating it, it's just something I learnt while researching for a new home alarm system. (edited)

    Not sure if this is of interest to anyone but this Ham on Youtube seems to think that the newer model is not as good as the original.

    That's what's called a "click bait" YouTube heading!!

    A quick guide on why YouTube is full of BS.

    The video actually goes on to say something else..

    How do you get a Welcome deal? I'm struggling to figure out how to get it for this price.
    I've been meaning to pick one of these up as I'd like to have a go at creating a custom firmware myself.

    Only by creating a new user name on AliE or if you haven't used it for a long time it seems to give you these offers.

    Otherwise, it's easier to just get the normal price. I paid the normal prices (edited)

    Brilliant find for this upgraded version, specially as a Welcome deal. Well spotted OP. Much heat 🔥
    EDIT : No wonder there are rumours that Wilko is going into administration! (edited)

    Haven't countless youtube reviewers said this "upgraded version" is worse than the original?

    Couldn't loosen my purse previously to order through my own listing but just done it through yours. Paid using PayPal and charge was £10.74. Many thanks OP. Now if that's not a recommendation for this beauty, what is?

    I have just received a pair of these a few days ago and they seem well made but am I having a slight problem when used in walkie talkie mode they only work sometimes even from the same location they worked before. Anyone else experienced this ?

    Have you tried a different frequency?
    You maybe experiencing localised interfaces.

    Mine been very good, no such issues

    Not all for me!! But so far I have ordered 3 X K5 and 2x K5(8).

    All turned up without much delay.

    I tuned this into the walkie talkie frequencies we use and it receives but does not transmit any sound, is my mic broken or have I received a dud? Anyone know of a way to test the mic?

    Ah wait, first pic probably answers my question.

    What can you listen to with one of these?
    Shock's avatar
    Shock Author
    Lots of static.. you don't listen to much.

    Though if you have a retransmission station nearby, you can tune into a lot of gibberish

    You can get an amateur radio licence extremely easily these days online, simple test. Well worthwhile for an excellent hobby.

    Dumb question. But are these walkie talkies to talk to Rachel other (so I'd need a pair) or are they to listen in to airtraffic control etc.

    So.. you want to talk to Rachel? 😁

    Tell us more..

    Does Rachel have a call sign?
