With the saturation of cellular phones it has actually gotten a bit more difficult to find high quality, long range "walkie talkies" or two way radios, but they can still be bought. Most outdoor equipment vendors sell them, as do electronics stores and suppliers for markets as varied as law enforcement, construction trade, paranormal investigation, and survivalist customers.
