BAOFENG GT-18 Long Range Walkie Talkies for Adults & Kids - License Free Rechargeable FRS Two Way Radios with 1500mAh Battery, 22 Channels & NOAA Weather Scan - Ideal for Camping, Hiking, Family Outdoors & Emergency Communication (3 Pack - Yellow, Green, Blue)

Both my 3 year old son and 7 year old daughter is following in my footprints on everything. Recently I got into ham radio and purchased a few handhelds. Of course my rugrats wanted their own, but I did not want to get something cheap or simply a walkie talkie. I wanted something that gives my kids a learning curve into frequencies and channels. These are just perfect. I got them and automatically installed the belt clip, lanyard and even downloaded the program to easily put the NOAA channels ( along with ctcs codes on the frequencies we will be using ). My son had a blast with it. Wife and her mother was impressed as well.For the NOAA programming, it is a bit confusing, do not follow Baofengs instructions.1) you need a Baofeng program cable ( i already had one, thats how easy and fast i was able to program ).2) download the official program under the GT-18 section - https://www.baofengradio.com/pages/download , extract and install.3) highly urge to backup the default firmware, once the radio is plugged in an on, on the program, go to settings and choose port of where the program cable is connected to. read from device and click file and save.4) when you open the GT18 program the NOAA channels are already showing. Simply write to device and that is it.NOAA channels did not work indoors since these radios are low watt but works perfect outdoors.
