May is the perfect time to plan a family trip to the countryside, a nearby park or beach. Hiking, cycling, and picnics are some fun activities that families can enjoy together. Walkie talkies for families are favorable communication tool for family trips. Considering factors such as license-free, ease of use, portability and price, I highly recommend this Retevis RT45 FRS License Free Radio.

Retevis RT45 is 2W, has 22 channels, and comes in a 2-pack for only $30.99. It looks like a classic walkie-talkie for the home, and it looks stunning in its milky white exterior. In the front, it has six buttons, Calling button, Monitor button, Menu and Power button, Lock Button, Up button and Down buttons for volume and channel switch. Retevis RT45 has a big part for speaker. On the side, it has the Push to talk button, and the other this side. It has the flashlight button and here is the USB jack. On the top, this is the headphone jack. On the back it has the belt clip. On the bottom, it has rubber feet for standing on.
Retevis RT45 weighs about 155g with batteries. It is so light that it is not a big burden when hiking and can be held for a long time without any effort. Accordingly, the Retevis RT45 is small and handy, which means that it can be stowed away to save space, among other things.

3 AA batteries are required per radio for power supply. These are also included in the scope of delivery. The batteries are usually sufficient to use the Retevis RT45 intensively for more than a day.
