Default walkie talkies

Can anyone recommend a brand of walkie talkies for the ship? Thanks in
advance.


I have used very cheap Conair Expedition FRS radios that I
bought many years ago onboard ships. They sometimes work
if you're not too far away from the other person, but you can't
count on them. When you're in your stateroom, separated by
many walls from the other person, the chance of hearing
anything is low.

I find them particularly useful in airports. When the wife goes
to the bathroom and I need to tell her that the plane is boarding,
the FRS radio is just the thing to use. I've also used them on
land where she might like to go into the shops and I prefer to
walk around or sit on a bench and read a book. They enable
us to find each other within a range of a mile or so.
