What’s Needed

• Pair of walkie-talkies

• Tape

• Nylon thread

• Coated business card or bookmark

• Nine-volt battery eliminator (optional)

What to Do

First, test the walkie-talkies with fresh batteries and note their maximum reliable operating distance. Follow the directions in the categories below for your desired application.

SNEAKY INTERCOM

This is the easiest project application to set up. It takes the place of an intercom system when wires cannot be placed between locations. For example, you can place one walkie-talkie in one room of the house and the other in the basement, the garage, a bedroom, or at the front door (mounted securely with screws or glue underneath a protective awning).

Simply mount the first walkie-talkie in a remote area (possibly under a cover to protect it from the elements) and listen with the second unit as shown in Figure 1.
