How to use the Luiton Walkie Talkies

Frequently Asked Questions
If you buy 2 sets of 2, can they communicate with each other?
Yes, if they are on the same channel, all the walkie talkies can be used together.
How does the scrambler work?
On Baofeng radios, the scramble feature functions similarly to beat shift. Because anyone with a radio that supports beat shift can listen in, it is not very secure. Unfortunately, you will need to call the person on the phone if you want a private talk. However, Scrambler will prevent casual eavesdropping by a non-technical person.
Can you get in trouble by police for using these radios?
Yes, if you don’t already have an amateur radio license from the FCC. The FCC (Federal Radio Police) REQUIRES a HAM radio license for anyone operating the radio without another licensed control operator present at the control point. These radios already have the 70 cm ham radio frequencies loaded in. The use of these radios on the CBRS (Citizens Band), GMRS, FRS, or business frequencies is still prohibited because they are not certified for use in any other radio service. Ham radio operators can and will track your signals if you use these without a license and find you. They can provide the FCC access to that data. According to CFR 47 section 1.80, the FCC has the authority to levy a fine of $10,000 per day of illegal operation.
Would I be able to hear the earpiece in a loud car wearing a helmet?
Yes, you will be able to hear the earpiece.
Does this item include the Vox headpiece?
Yes, the VOX function can be used with the earpiece.
Are these truly scrambled? Can they be heard on a scanner?
A jumbled transmission is possible. The settings for all the channels can be downloaded using the software, after which you can set the channels you wish scrambled. This appears to be available on each and every channel that these radios are tuned to. Operating on the FRS, GMRS, and amateur radio frequencies while scrambling is enabled is prohibited. On their frequencies, amateur radio operators are not allowed to use scrambling. The FCC has been quite quiet about enforcing the rules in this complex matter. Regarding approving the importation and sale of these radios in the USA, the FCC has also remained very quiet. It is hardly shocking because the FCC is a political institution rather than a technical one.
What’s the battery charging time?
The charging time of these walkie talkies is about 4 hours.
Why do i need a license?
These radios are license-free on FRS if you use them at only half a watt and intend to use them in the United States. On those frequencies, anything greater than 0.5 watt is prohibited. FRS and GMRS frequencies that are shared can both be used at half watt output. However, in order to use GMRS frequencies, you must possess a current GMRS license, which may be purchased from the FCC for $80 for a five-year term and needs to be renewed every five years. It is unlawful to operate a radio like this on GMRS frequencies without a license, much like it is to operate a vehicle without a driver’s license. However, doing so is against the law, and if you’re caught or someone reports you, you might face a punishment of up to $10,000. Anyone who claims that a license is not necessary to transmit on GMRS frequencies is deceiving you. Simply put, it is illegal. Since authorized GMRS users are watching those channels, they can readily identify you based on the things you say and the unintentional details you reveal during talks. And they don’t like it when individuals use the frequencies they legitimately use and have spent the time and money to obtain licenses for in violation.
Are different brands of walkie-talkies compatible?
Yes, they are compatible when programmed properly.
What is the channel range?
Communication range is 1-3.6 miles depending on the surroundings and the UHF frequency range of 400-470MHz.
How long battery last?
The battery lasts about 8 to 10 hours per charge.
Does it come with an ear piece?
No, it doesn’t come with an ear piece.
Can you add additional walkie talkies?
Yes, you can.
Does it work while charging in the charger?
Yes, they work while charging.
Does it have a police scanner?
No, it doesn’t have a police scanner.
