Learn About 2-Way Radios
Is there any way to boost the operating range of a 49 MHz toy Walkie Talkie?
And if there isn’t a way to boost one of these low-powered radios, then why was it made like that?
Is there any other device with that frequency but longer range? The only other devices I know are old cordless phones and R/C Toy cars.
I already have FRS/Gmrs and CB Radios that are supposed to be able to work over a distance of 10 miles. But that little 49 MHz two-way radio I bought is only a toy.
If I had the knowledge to build my own Walkie Talkie, would there be a way for me to make the range at least two miles?
I would like to learn about two way radios.
I hate the fact that the government won’t let us just do what we want to do. They expect us to buy a license for this and a license for that. It is so annoying.
I just want to learn basics of a walkie talkie, then go to the big stuff like ham radios.
I’ll be happy just to start with something simple

Connecting Up a CB Radio
My mom said she is going to buy me a CB radio for my birthday.
I have never used a two-way radio before, so I want to know… Will I need to have an antenna for the radio, and how do I connect the thing? Can I power it from the household electric supply?
