In this audio recording I demonstrate a cheep ass walkie-talkie I found at Marshalls for $6.99. It's only a one channel walkie-talkie, and the only button you have is to send morse code, and the range is shit. It also souns terrible.

That is an absolutely fantastic piece of technology.

I wouldn't call it fantastic. The distance from you and the other person is about 15 feet or such, and it sounds cheap. Maybe if it was like an old-school walkie-talkie from back in the day maybe.

When I was little I had something similar, but it was quite big so it couldn't fit in the pocket, had a clip to attach it to your trousers or whatever, it was powered by a 9V battery and had a telescopic antenna. It had the on and off switch integrated with the volume knob, and next to it was a button for morse code, and a ptt button on the left. There was a set of 2, they were really bulky, and I accidentally dropped them one day and they had smashed to pieces. Normally I would say this is the same thing you have, because the morse code sound was the same but mine had better speakers, and also 1 channel and short range despite a very long antenna. It was back in 2006 or so I guess.

Nice! Mine doesn't have a volume knob, only the button to transmit Morse code, push to talk and the switch to turn it on and off.

those are those weird kids toys that they sell for really cheep. 

These walkie-talkies were only $6.99, which says everything.
