Our failed attempts to bag a few of our partridges yeststerday left us all in no doubt that we got to be a bit more organised the next time and a set of 2 way radios should help a bit and these look just the job. Has anyone who's used them got an opinion of this model or should we be looking at something else? Edited October 17, 2010 by paul99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for clearing that up jojusa - just got to hope they get them at the nearest Aldi store but given past experiences with their special offers they won't.

paul99 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I managed to get my hands on a set myself too - first time ever I've managed to get an Aldi special offer. Nice to see they run on common AAA rechargeables too so easy to pick up a decent set of hybrids should the batteries not be up to the job. A quick test whilst walking the dogs proves to me they will be perfect for the job we have in mind not sure why I've never got a set before. Their now on charge and will get the first real test tommorrow after the partridges... Thanks again to jojusa for bringing them to my attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul99 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 My aldi never had them Mine usually doesn't get any special offers either so was pleasantly surprised to find they had these radios. That said I think I've heard somewhere that you can actually request that your local store order in the special offers for you? - whether this is right or not I don't know but it can't help asking.

paul99 Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 The radios had a live testing this morning and they were perfect - more than enough range for what we need (tested up to 1.3miles according to Google Earth so far and that was crystal clear). They really proved their value where mobile phone signal was non existent. I think we'll have a few more of them next weekends outing following todays success . Batteries lasted all day and when I checked 15mins ago were still showing as full. To top it all off they even provided us with some half time entertainment courtesy of a local school who it seemed had a riot on their hands going by the sheer level of panic the staff sounded to be in - it was nothing so sinister though - only a minor scrap between two yr 8 kids so we got to find out later - how things have altered in that school so quickly .

Not market traders, ebayers! I wanted to buy a golf trolley from Lidls to use as a shooting trolley but arrived about mid day to find they had all gone. The man I spoke to said it happens every week. Thats why these stores never seem to have the special offers when you go in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
