The headsets were invaluable in our learning process. I doubt that we would be able to do what we're doing now without first having used the headsets.<br /><br />@John - I did contact the company and told them about my difficulties. They pretty much admitted that normal wear and tear in the marine environment can cause these problems. They said I could send them in for evaluation, and I may, but I doubt they can do anything for me on these. By the way, Quality and Marine are two terms we have never found we can use in the same sentence with two stark exceptions: the Honda EU2000i generator and the Mantus anchor.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093436662653044390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552422419133819877.post-73700739467706700002015-04-09T13:25:46.147-05:002015-04-09T13:25:46.147-05:00My little girl insited on getting these toy walkie...My little girl insited on getting these toy walkie talkies, they were shaped like ponies. They are terrible, staticy as heck and don't transmit the length of the house.<br />She looked disheartened. Being the softy that I am, I dug out my radios that I have use during hunting season. 2 mile range etc.<br />Some might call it lazy parenting, I called it an effective use of technology, but all weekend she carried her's around telling me which friend's house she was in, which back yard she was in, and of course every friend had to speak.<br /><br />What does this have to do with your post? Quality matters.<br />Welcome Back to the US, provision up and get back out!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05051978211928095735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552422419133819877.post-45506151697699004512015-04-09T09:08:12.779-05:002015-04-09T09:08:12.779-05:00Thanks for the info on the radios...we had conside...Thanks for the info on the radios...we had considered getting some but if they don't hold up well I think I'll pass.<br /><br />Actually, you may have given me an idea on what to do with the "bonus" emergency whistles that came with our dog's life vests. I always wondered how I could train our dogs to use the whistles anyway. ;-)<br /><br />-Mike<br /><a href="http://thisratsailed.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">ThisRatSailed</a>Mike Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14279932231094933575noreply@blogger.com
