I have a weird question.

My life partner's aunt sent gifts to us from London, UK. (She lives there). One of the gifts for my son was a set of walkie talkies (not sure if a 17 year old will appreciate them, but it is the thought that counts after all).

Would walkie talkies bought in England be on the correct legal radio frequencies here in the US?

Does anyone know?

I feel really stupid.

1. that is a good question

since they use different electrical current outlets over there
i am curious on the answer!
:hi: :hug: :hug:

2. They are battery operated

Powered by AA batteries.

3. in that case

i would think it would be universal in that situation
so i am going to say, yes, the same frequencies

4. The frequency should be stamped somewhere on the radios

Find it, then check here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Radio_Service

5. Yikes

I have already sealed the box for mailing.

I will email that Wiki page to my son when he gets the radios.

6. Do you remember the brand and model?

7. Nope!

Oh well.

I will have my dad (the retired electrical engineer) take a look at the packaging and the wiki page.
