That depends on what type of handheld radio you're using. They do make handheld CB radios. They have both 40 channel handhelds, and single channel handhelds (some of which may actually be three channel with the purchase of additional radio crystals). The single channel handhelds typically use Channel 14 as a default.
FM radios, such as those used in FMRS, GMRS, Business Radio, emergency services, etc. do not use the same frequencies as CB radios, and cannot communicate with them.

Were there any walkie talkies used in World War I?
At the time of World War 1, radios were large and bulky. Eventually some radios were installed on aircraft but very few airplanes had them. So there were no walkie-talkie radio's. BTW, the term Walkie-Talkie was used to describe the radio that an infantryman could place on his back and carry into the field. He talked on it using a handset much like a telephone. Whereas at Handie-Talkie was a hand-held, one-piece radio that looked much like the early Motorola Cell Phones from the 1980's. However, most people refer to this portable radio as a Walkie-Talkie.
What advantage of walkie talkie in hotel?
Using walkie talkies in large hotels allows people to communicate throughout the hotel without being near to each other. A walkie talkie also allows people to know problems faster.
What are the benefits for using a walkie talkie talkabout by Motorola?
I personally don't see any benefits with using the walkie talkie talkabout by motorola. The sound of the person's voice changes dramatically and any noise in the background can mess up the conversation completely.
Can you operate your amateur radio on Wimbledon common?
It depends. If you are talking about using a HT aka walkie-talkie, then that is acceptable. If you're talking about setting up a HF station with huge antennas, etc.. Then, the answer is no.
How do you leave Super Villain Island if you don't get a walkie talkie?
You can leave through the Home function of the site to reach other new islands. But the normal way is to use the walkie talkie to reach the blimp at the oil rig. If you see that you are not getting the walkie talkie when in the helicopter, reset the island using the small map at upper right (press the blue button "Restart Island").
What does ROG mean on the screen on my walkie talkie?
I'm assuming you're using a cobra brand radio. It stands for "roger beep tone", and it's the little beep that you hear at the end of each transmission.
What are the rules for using a walkie talkie?
(in the US) If you are referring to non-military civiian-type radio - as long as you are using an FCC-compliant device - except for the fact that you may not curse while on the air, and you may not cause intentional interference with another radio - there is very little restrictions on their use.
Can I connect binatone terrain 750 walkie talkie to any channel instead of the default 1-8 channels because when you look at the screen you can faintly see MHz FM etc?
You can connect Binatone Terrain 750 Walkie Talkie to any channel other than just the default 1-8 channels using the Power-in Connection Jack.
How can you increase the range of a walkie talkie on the circuit board?
HiYou can not change radio power on Circuit Board. Maximum output power is fixed.In commercial licensed radios, output power (correct with possessed license) can be changed by programming by using right programming software and right interface cable and/or rib box for right model of the radio.
How far do CB radios transmit?
For a walkie talkie, you can expect one to two miles. For a mobile unit, two to five miles with a barefoot radio is typical. A base station using a full wave (11 metre) antenna could hit well over 100 miles using just the legal amount of power.
When did the wireless microphone get invented?
A walkie-talkie is a hand-held portable, bi-directional radio transceiver. The first walkie-talkies were developed for military use. Major characteristics include a half-duplex channel (only one radio transmits at a time, though any number can listen) and a push-to-talk switch that starts transmission. The typical physical format looks somewhat like a telephone handset, possibly slightly larger but still a single unit, with an antenna sticking out of the top. Where a phone's earpiece is only loud enough to be heard by the user, a walkie-talkie's built-in speaker can be heard by the user and those in his immediate vicinity. The first radio receiver/transmitter to be nick-named "Walkie-Talkie" was the backpacked Motorola SCR-300, created by an engineering team in 1940 at the Galvin Manufacturing Company (fore-runner of Motorola). The team consisted of Dan Noble, who conceived of the design using FM technology, Henryk Magnuski who was the principal RF engineer, Marion Bond, Lloyd Morris, and Bill Vogel. Motorola also produced the hand-held AM SCR-536 radio during the war, and it was called the "Handie-Talkie" (HT). Donald L. Hings also worked on the early technology behind the walkie-talkie between 1934 and 1941, and is sometimes said to actually have invented it. A Hand-held transceivers became valuable communication tools for police, emergency services, and industrial and commercial users, using frequencies assigned for these services. Walkie-talkies are also popular with some amateur radio operators, operating with an amateur radio license in several different frequency bands. Since even a powerful commercial walkie-talkie is limited to a few watts of power output and a small antenna (the physical size of the package limits both battery capacity and antenna size), hand-held communication range is typically quite short, with a typical range not exceeding the line-of-sight distance to the horizon in open areas, and much less in built-up areas, within buildings, or underground. Many radio services permit the use of a repeater which is located at some high point within the desired coverage area. The repeater listens on one frequency and retransmits on another, so that reliable hand-held to hand-held unit range can be extended to a few score miles (kilometers) or further, using repeaters linked together. Low-power versions, exempt from licence requirements, are also popular children's toys. Prior to the change of CB radio from licensed to un-licensed status, the typical toy walkie-talkie available in retail stores in North America was limited to 100 milliwatts of power on transmit and the 27 MHz citizens' band channels using AM amplitude modulation only. Later toy walkie-talkies operated in the 49 MHz band, some with FM (frequency modulation), shared with cordless phones and baby monitors. The lowest cost devices are very crude electronically, may employ superregenerative receivers, and may lack even a volume control, but they may have elaborate packaging. Unlike more costly units,low-cost toy walkie-talkies may not have separate microphones and speakers; the receiver's speaker typically doubles as a microphone while in transmit mode. The personal walkie-talkie has now become popular again with the new U.S. Family Radio Service and similar unlicensed services in other countries. While FRS walkie-talkies are also sometimes used as toys because mass-production makes them low cost, they have proper superheterodyne receivers and are a useful communication tool for both business and personal use. Operation in the Family Radio Service is restricted to walkie talkies limited to 500 milliwatts of effective RF power. Some FRS models also include the surrounding GMRS channels, which require a license. Trivia Handie Talkie refers to Mototorla portable products only. According to the US Patent and Trademark Office, Handie Talkie became a trademark of Motorola, Inc. on May 22, 1951. The application was filed June 24, 1948 and the trademark registration number is 71560123. The abbreviation HT is commonly used to refer to portable handheld ham radios (from any manufacturer) in the UHF and VHF ranges. A walkie-talkie is called "talkie-walkie" in French.
Can i use boost mobile in mexico?
Yes, but it's pricey: http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2005/01/31/boost-international An international surcharge of $.20 a minute will apply to international Boost Walkie-Talkie use from the United States to Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Peru. An international roaming surcharge of $.10 a minute will apply to international Boost Walkie-Talkie use from Baja Mexico, and an international roaming surcharge of $.20 a minute will apply to international Boost Walkie-Talkie use from Canada. They say they use the Nextel network. I have a international $55 plan plus an exta $2 dls on the accout. and I could talk, txt, and walkie talkie with no roaming charges aproximatly 1-2 miles from the border. I could txt and walkie talkie with no roaming charges about 10 form the border, and I could only walkie-talkie about 100 miles from the border last place it worked was on san luis. From there on There was no signal what so ever, so even If i got extra $ on my account I could not access any network so that i could use roaming, not even the nextel network. And I know it was not in a dead zone cuz there were people next to me talking on their cell phones and using the radio on the nextel network. Currently I am in a big city Celaya, Guanajuato and still no signal on my phone.
