Where can I find walkie-talkie & accessories in Helsinki-Espoo-Vantaa area??? Is there any specialized shop selling these equipment???
And what is the magic word to make google search??

Hi!
Shops selling leisure electronics , hunting equipment and boat equipment are good sources for walkie-talkies.
The search words are "radiopuhelin tarvikkeet" (= walkie-talkie accessories).
- In the search pages as vertaa.fi you can also use some of the most common brands, like Lafayette and Cobra.

Some common cheaper consumer models are also available at Hong-Kong stores.

Price depends if you want a real one or a toy one = how long a distance. magic word is radiopuhelin or LA-puhelin

I would say try Hong Kong or Billtima

I would say try Biltema, if you really do want some cheap, plasticy piece of crap that would be lucky to see the week out. .

I have tried cheap sets from places like Biltema & Clas Ohlson. I haven't found them to be unreliable. The last ones I bought were quite clear (especially if using a headset) and came with a charger that is useful. The real issue is the range, which falls far short of a "real" walkie talkie - and is only a fraction of the range claimed by the manufacturers. If your application requires only a short range, the cheap sets can be OK. If you need a decent range you need a better product.

Thanks for the replies guys... Actually, I already have those toy ones I was looking for headsets suitable with them. The magic words "radiopuhelin tarvikkeet" worked great for me, and found some online stores.
