license-free, 2way radios fit nicely in the palm of your hand. You can talk to your friends in the
next room, next door and around the neighborhood. Use them at shopping malls, amusement
parks or sports events to stay in touch with family and friends. These cool radios feature “auto-

nearby on the same channel. The radio automatically switches to sleep mode if not used for six
seconds, and wakes up when it receives a transmission or you press any key.
