In this product review, we will have a closer look at two license-free kids walkie talkies from Floureon.

While we find no maximum range listed on the package, in my opinion, long distances are reached only under optimal conditions (e.g. open line of sight).

More realistic is to assume a shorter range, because houses, trees, and other obstacles can reduce the signal quality significantly.

According to government regulation, PMR446 radios are not allowed to have a replaceable antenna, and can only transmit at a low output power of 0.5 watts, while in the US consumers can benefit from a higher output power of 2 watts.

Because of this, it is perfectly normal that these radios tend to perform best in close-range communication.

At first, a short-range may seem like a disadvantage, but if you think about it, it also has advantages.

In a city with many users, simultaneous transmissions on the same channel, are less likely if the radios only have a short-range.
The benefit, users are not constantly bothering each other on one of the available frequencies.

Besides, the low output power extends battery life, and you can use the radios longer while consuming less power.

Also, if your radio would transmit over longer distances, more people could listen in, which is also avoided by the weak transmission power. Because a potential eavesdropper would always have to be close enough to receive the signal.

In my test, the communication quality was very nice, I think the Floureon A2 offers a great price value.

If you plan to use your radios frequently, please make sure to have a USB power supply handy.
