Usually you get what you pay for, in my business, they end up getting dropped, wet, or lost more often than failing. My main concern would be what frequencies are you allowed to use and where are you located. What may be civilian channels in the US may be military channels in another country and that's not a good thing. I wouldn't just grab some US radios and let four kids loose in the Philippines with them.... Search for "FRS radio Philippines" or whichever country you are in. ALSO what are the import restrictions? Radios with transmitters open another whole can of worms. Customs may confiscate them. Might ask the local police dept or if you see any hams, amateur radio operators.... en.wikipedia.org Worldwide, a number of similar personal radio services exist; these share the characteristics of low power, operation in the UHF (or upper VHF) band using FM, and simplified or no end-user licenses. Exact frequency allocations differ, so equipment legal to operate in one country may cause unacceptable interference in another.
