Saw your post and went rummaging through the wet bunch of catalogues I left sitting on the steps but no aldi cat. delivered!!
Can't find them online either.

I'll have to go in tomorrow and have a look. Maybe NSW have different offers??

How much are they?

I would stick with 40/80 channels to match up with your car radio

For $30 might be worth it just fit the kids to much around with or to take it with them if they go for a wonder.

Car units and all mainstream handhelds are 40 or 80 channels. You wont be able to talk to other people.

Vehicle to vehicle will be limited but if you remain close they will work ok.

Perfect for kids playing in a football field size area or when backing the camper in.

Good price at $30.
