Ten Things You Need a Walkie Talkie Headset For

Smart phones may have revolutionized communications but they won’t ever replace walkie talkies, here are ten things you can do with a walkie talkie that you can’t do or wouldn’t want to do with a cell phone.

Use a walkie talkie headset for instant communications with air traffic control while on final approach in a small aircraft. I dare you to try this with a cell phone. There ain’t an app for that.

Call your kids for dinner while on a camping trip. If you are lucky enough or unlucky enough to be in an area with cell phone service for your camping trip good luck calling your kids for dinner. Cell phones are notoriously unreliable for getting ahold of kids. Plus many kids don’t have or don’t need cell phones. With a walkie talkie they don’t have an excuse not to hear you and if this is a problem strap a walkie talkie headset to their head and dare them not to hear you. If you have a gaggle the radio goes up in value as cell phone bills tend to increase as you get more.

Warn the following cars that you are cutting across multiple lanes to take a potty break or get a pickle. Walkie talkies make road trips much more fin and exciting as well as convenient. Dialing a number every time you need to talk to someone, that is just so last year.

Coordinating a sniper attack on a bank robber. When you are attempting to organize a SWAT team cell phones are just out of the question. In dicey situations you need the best gear not to mention walkie talkie headsets and a 50 caliber rifle. Start using your cell and communication break down will most certainly ensue.

Get a call from dispatch that directs you and all other active units into the high speed pursuit on the autobahn. Coordinate that with phone stuck to your ear and some call waiting.

Put out a fire in a sky scrapper, while coordinating numerous fire trucks to and multiple crews.

Communicate with the control room in an industrial plant in an area of high noise and potential danger. You need instant communications and you need noise canceling walkie talkie headsets.

Protect the President from a possible assassination attempt. Instant communication with all members of the secret service is an essential part of the job it isn’t a luxury. Two way radios, walkie talkie headsets and earbuds, as well as lapel mics make this possible. Not even a blue tooth headset will help you out in this situation.

Communicate with your pit crew when you need to come in and get a tire change, lube, fuel refill, back rub, and burger in 8 seconds. Not so sure cell phones are allowed in the racing world.

Organize an attack on the leader of the Tour de France on the last day with one mountain stage to go. Strategy is king and walkie talkies and earbuds make it possible. It might take some bionic legs to pull it off but the communication is a must.

As you can see radios have a home and for many of the most sensitive operations here walkie talkie headsets are also a requirement. Many jobs could simply not be preformed without the aid of radio communications or walkie talkie headsets.
