We bought the equipment together with a pair Audioline PMR 015 for our children (6 years). It should be possible in at least one reliable communication with us. The PMR 040 are as it were intended as a base station ". Equipment and accessories of PMR 040 is in my opinion very good. The workmanship is fine. The device makes despite hard plastic an overall impression of high quality. The possibilities offered by the headset for our use, I can not judge. The supplied battery pack had before the first operation first at least 14 hours in the charging station also included. As long as I can not say keep this, but this is already a previous reviews been treated. Whether the different features the device must also necessarily now, everyone should decide for themselves. For children, I find the settings too complicated and fiddly. Since you have adjusted quickly what times and suddenly receives nothing because the channel or the code has accidentally.
Now, an interesting result of our first range tests: In our environment with strong rolling countryside and easier development we came up with about 1.5 km as the crow. The PMR 040 with allegedly extended range (lt. Description max. 10 km in clear line of sight) bring in a direct comparison no better understanding than half as expensive PMR 015 (lt. Description up to 3 km at clear line of sight)! Von wegen Extended Range Technology ". Ok, in this price range and at a transmit power of 0.5 W is anyway not expected marvels, but I think it's at least worth noting that the easily equipped PMR 015 work so well. The additional price of PMR 040 I still think, due to the equipment and in the delivery of appropriate, therefore 5 star.
