For the next power cut
The lights go out. You already know where the torch is.
Most people put this off because it feels a bit much, or like tempting fate. It isn't. Sort it once, and the next power cut is just a quiet evening: a light in the room, phones charged, the radio on, nobody frightened.
- Keep it in one place: the kitchen drawer or under the stairs
- Charge it when the clocks change, twice a year
- Show the children where it is, so the dark feels less scary
Description
Two compact handheld radios for talking to each other when the mobile network is overloaded or down: one with whoever goes to check on a neighbour, one at home; one in each car in a convoy; one with the children in the garden.
This is the PMR446 version. PMR446 is the UK and European licence-free band: 8 channels, 0.5 W output, no fees and nothing to register. Each handset has an LCD with battery level, VOX hands-free talking, channel lock, a monitor and scan function, adjustable squelch and call tones. Range depends on buildings and terrain; expect streets and fields rather than towns.
Each handset takes 3 x AA batteries (not included), so the same AA stock that runs your torches runs the radios. About 90 g each, 16 x 5.5 x 2.8 cm.
In the pack: 2 x PMR446 handsets, black (Retevis RT628). Batteries not included.
