Recommend a two-way radio set

Stumbled onto this just a while ago:

Versa Two Way Radios FaceBook

Versa Security - Versa Two-Way Radios

Apparently they've been in business since 2009, and with the MMDA for that matter.

Parang local company na sourcing from China, putting up their own brand? The radios are supposed to be rugged, but no mention about water resistance/proofing. Around 6.5k sa lazada

The Versa radios operates on the amateur VHF and UHF bands (2-meter and 70-cm). You will need a license to operate those. They're probably rebranded Baofeng/Pofung units. The button placements and keypad arrangement are identical which means that they're sharing the same circuit board.

Own a cignus before yung waterproof at shockproof daw. Nailagay ko lng sa bag sa pagmamadali kasama mga gamit ko at libro. Kinabukasan pagkita ko ayun may crack na ang monitor para sa freq. tsk3x. Wala talaga quality mahal pa. Kaya i settle na sa icom yung latest na.so far mag 1 year sa sa akin and satisfied user here.

i think the Quicktalk model is SRRS sir, yung mukhang laruan ^_^

Good catch. Yes, the Versa Quicktalks are SRRS. I didn't notice them the first time.

Reviving this thread.

I'm trying to find a decent pair of two-way radio, and I can see a lot of options sa Lazada, way too many options and I'm not knowledgeable enough to know which ones are good or practical.

Any recommendation of a good value-for-money two-way radio?

Thanks in advance.

Don't buy Cobra. I have a pair I used back in 2014. The reception was only good when my car and my wife's CUV were behind each other. When we got separated by heavy rush hour freeway traffic, the reception was lousy.

I bought a pair of those cheap Baofeng 2-way radios off OLX, for farm use. Helps a lot.

1 year na namin ginagamit, okay naman.

[badkuk]

^ nababasa ko rin sa CB radio forums in the US, they seem to have good experience with BF's. Not the best but cheap and good

They need NTC stickers. Make sure they have them. Mine didnt come with any so medyo tago ako when i use the radios.

Technically, everyone you operate a radio, you need a license, for the radio and for the operator.

The analogy is like driving a car. NTC is the LTO for radios. You need a "driver's license" and an "OR/CR" for the radio.

Practically speaking, matagal ng wala ako naririnig na operation ng NTC with regards to illegal operation of radio and frequency.

If you really want things to be legal, consult NTC, they will assign a frequency and most of the time, yung radio na lang kailangan ang irehistro. It will probably be channelized as opposed to radios with VFO, where you can input the frequency manually. Madali lang mag register sa NTC especially for commercial use. Radios should also be NTC certified.

update: i inquired sa police sa aming municipality. they will allow the use of 2way radios with or without a license. i'll buy some i donate ko sa aming brgy. officials

is Baofeng good? i checked with some sellers online, one recommended Baofeng UV-6RA at 1.6k each discounted price.

i checked also the Cignus brand endorsed by Kim Atienza but its more expensive at 2.5k each
