Walkie-Talkie [SPOILERS]

edited September 2012 in The Walking Dead
I just replayed Episode 1, and I realized that the person who has been talking to Clem, has to of met Glen at one point, or at lease his car. When Glen left the motor inn in episode 1 he took the other walkie-talkie by mistake in his car.

I don't know if her talkie has it's own special frequency so it can only talk to the other talkie, making her think it is broken because she cannot talk to anyone on the other end, until someone finds the one in Glen's car. Or if this is a normal radio that can switch between multiple frequencies.

    It looks like one of those simple household Fisher-Price toy walkie talkies, so how it has a range past 200 yards is a dark mystery

    sorry to burst your bubble,

    anyone with a walkie in range, big radio transmitter and desktop radio unit can send and recieve signals...and intercept radio traffic on the right frequency.

    also some survivors/radio enthusiast will use both of these to communicate for help/share supplies/trade..

    Clems dad was bitten from what was said in episode one. Clems moms said he was attacked by a strange man and they was at the hospital.

    Once again it doesn't have to be paired walkies. I can give you a Wal Mart kids batman walkie talkie and someone with a military grade Walkie Talkie can talk to you.

    Who's to say someone didn't find the walkie? Perhaps glen left it in the ice machine. Maybe someone has been following the group the entire time since episode 1.

    all i'm saying is there are other equipment around that will do the same job as a walkie but not as portable to explain the distance..

    how many zombie flicks have had a guy with a big ass radio transmitter in it? heck even a cb radio in a truck/taxi/cop car... and then theres the seti 'alien' researcher/hobby people...

    Since Ep 1? From the farmers barn, to Macon, to the motel, across train tracks and with them into Savanah? Anything is possible, but, huh?

    Not saying from the farm, but at the very end when the group made it to the motor inn. Look at the crazy lady from save lots watching clem from a distance. She stole her hat.

    A 5 watt walkie talkie with a 7 inch antenna can go anywhere from 1/2 a mile (in the city) to 3-4 miles (in mild terrain such as a temperate forest) all the way to 20 miles (over the ocean or on top of a mountain). I know we don't know the exact details..but still....


    Without repeaters and such, you are not going to get much range. Walkie-talkies send messages to one another and don't require a cell tower to relay signals. That makes them more reliable than cellphones in remote areas where it's difficult or impossible to get a signal. More advanced walkie-talkie devices are two-way radios that transmit signals over the Family Radio Service (FRS) of the Federal Communications Commission.

    I'm pretty sure clementine mentioned this already (I think it was at the end of ep. 1)
