Walkie talkie from Japan to the Philippines?

[@davidrix804]

Sorry don’t mean to sound negative but are those radios only meant for commercial use,and if anyone can buy those,surely criminals could use them and not get traced,because that’s why SIM cards are registered now because of crime related issues!!🙏🙏

[@GadgetAddict]

Firstly, let's address the elephant in the room... SIM registration doesn't stop criminals. It's trivially easy to register a SIM using false information. You can see various news reports about that. Criminals have been getting past the strict KYC process required by e-wallets for many years already - so the SIM registration process is just a joke for them. Aside from that, what's to stop criminals from using a SIM or eSIM from another country, and then enabling roaming to use it inside the PH without having to register it? Or what's to stop criminals from buying a UHF/VHF radio online and using that without relying on a cell network? Anyway, putting all of that aside, these radios use a regular SIM card, just like your phone. So you will be required to register the SIM card.

[@cyrus7280]

well said @GadgetAddict. The same thing can be said with money. Not entirely related to the subject but critical thinking should be taught in school, a lot of people lack that these days.

[@Limansk]

I can't believe criminals are using viber, facebook chat, telegram, yahoo messenger, whatsapp, skype, wechat, LINE. How could the Philippine government let this happen 😢😢 Wait until you realize you can setup a LoRa mesh with a cheapo android phone

​@@GadgetAddictCan I get the complete product name and model of the one you're demonstrating on this video? I'm interested and would like to buy it. Thank you.

Based on your logic we should ban cellphones too. Since criminals can use a cellphone to detonate an IED. 🤦‍♂️

Finally, a gadget review👍 kudos. Looking for more gadgets being reviewed

[@nhorman0511]

similar to Nextel iDEN from the late '80s, but PoC (Push to Talk Over Cellular) support LTE data and video BW requirements...PoC sometimes refers to RoIP (Radio over IP)

[@RideWhileYouCan]

Its ok if youre in an area where network towers are available, downside,you need a data plan to make the unit work. And it uses a voip protocol or Voice Over LTE. anothe4 problem with that is, it is useless when all network towers are down. Thats why rescue and other ham radio enthusiast still use licensed ham radio like vhf and uhf.

[@fishnchips24-C]

Cool. Good to know. We used VHF radios back in the days.

[@StraightOuttaUrbex]

what he will fail to mention is that if there is no mobile phone signal these do not work stick to the old stuff vhf and uhf

[@greywisker3180]

The whole purpose of a walkie talkie is to be able to communicate if cell towers are down or in areas where there is no service or to be able to use the air waves free of charge.

[@RainBitcoins]

Exactly, in a grid down situation these will be useless

[@ferdm9646]

Then it'll act like an ordinary walkie talkie. That's what it is

[@skellener]

Exactly. We use walkie talkies on mtb rides because there’s usually no cell service.

[@festivaljapan]

What a great video. I'm now a fan of your channel.

[@mollyfilms]

A few questions on this. 1. Can you connect a blue tooth mic to the radio and use Vox to communicate? 2. If you loose cellular connection will it automatically reconnect? 3. What data cost or connection costs? Or do you use a cellular SIM card?

[@losttownstreet3409]

Some cellular radios support a special DMO Mode for direct connections. It would be great if these radios would try a dPMR connection first and then try a repeated dPMR connection and only then go into cellular mode. dPMR is license free in nearly all countries, unlike Tetra25 which support the DMO-mode and some cellular modes. It would be great if they could add DMR and DV (D-Star) modes too.

It's a push to talk cell phone bud. Low to no latency data type. It's like using a low bandwidth internet browser on your computer. It's still using the Internet, it's still an Internet browser. Call a spade a spade. It's still really cool. But, it's a push to talk cellular device.

I work for a heritage railway and our walkie talkie work on the station Wi-Fi so when we are on the line or in between station that's OK but if we walk to far away from the line or station than they will stop working. Sorry what did you say? I didn't get that. Hello Any one

[@GadgetAddict]

It's a shame they don't use a model that also supports 3G/4G - in addition to the Wi-Fi. I guess you could Hotspot them.

There's no specific seller that I'd recommend to be honest. They're available in most Cignus dealer shops, but also online through Shopee and Lazada. Depending on the vouchers available, you could get it much cheaper by buying it online. You can find it by searching "cignus NX100" - just make sure that it's the new gen2 version, since some people are still selling the older and larger version.

Trying to figure out what this device is useful for personal use. In the US, it reminds me of a walkie tallkie technology from Nextel, which was a PTT (Push to talk) which relied on proprietary phones (but also supposted the PSTN Public Switched Telephone Network) which these types of devices don't support. Yet another gadget to carry, not sure if it's worth the bother.

[@GadgetAddict]

A lot of people seem to be considering this as a (bad) alternative to a cellphone. But really it's an alternative (or addition) to those who already use a radio, or have a need of a radio. I would say that the average person probably doesn't need a radio in their day to day life. But for those who do, it serves a very useful purpose. And you're right, Nextel is the classic. It's a shame that was phased out.
