I'm looking for a good pair of walkie talkies. Although there's some reviews of them here, there's not nearly as much as I'd hoped. Can't really find the info I'm looking for on the web either. Especially since I don't know much about the subject. Basically what I'm looking for, from most important down to least important:
Range (>10km)
Battery life (I prefer not to have an internal rechargable battery)
Rugged/durable
Hands Free or Accessory VOX
Talk Confirmation Tone (like saying "over" or "roger")
Keypad Lock
Time out timer
If I forgot something handy here, let me know. As I said, don't know much about this.
The radio won't be used much for rock climbing, but mostly on hikes and high altitude expeditions. So temperature might be an issue.
