That may be true. In Europe such devices should use 27MHz or 434Mhz (?),
but I haven"t ever heard about a 49MHz band. But things change and this
doesn"t have to be still the truth.

Despite of this the chatterbox sounds quite interesting, but I would
only use a 27MHz unit in Europe. Otherwise you can"t ensure, that it works
together with other intercom systems and what is more frustrating than
sitting on the island with no connecitivty to your friends :-)))

BTW: The @s toolbox is big: Why not plugging a simple CB unit for 30$ plus
headset in it ?

Bye,
