Well you can listen in but until the battery dies i would give it a larger battery to let it last longer

[wonder_yosemite]

And lets not forget that when batteries run low the dam walkie-talke lets out a beep ,indicating low battery.now your screwed.

Awesome, thats a really good techneak, whats the paperclip for

[airsoftman111]

will electrical tape work instead of masking tape but GREAT Instructable and sweet pictures! =)

Or you can buy 2 cheap tracfones, call one, hide the other one and then you can listen from miles and miles away.  Just hope you dont hit a bad service area.  :)

Many radios have a built-in voice activated transmit option.

You needed nine steps to say "tape a paperclip to a walkie-talkie and leave in another room"?

[ReCreate]

Yeah,Its pathetic right?

[codongolev]

am I going to have to flag this as "not nice"? because it doesn't really sound like a compliment.

[ReCreate]

*a very well deserved facepalm*

[A good name]

I agree. I died a little inside.

[ReCreate]

[t3h]

It's a complicated process :P

hiya, am not a professional HAM radio operator, but one thing i learned with working with radios...if you keep the PTT Push to Talk) depressed for a long time, you could end up burning up your Finals.. am not sure if this goes the same for Family Radio System (FRS)..thanks!!

ive tried it and i got caught i hid the walkie talkie under a chair and for some reason my two older brothers saw them and made a blag private convo where they said they where going to do a hit on someone so i ran down and said your not gunna do a hit on anyone without me and they said to me you F***ing idiot we sussed it out we saw you walkie talkie under the chair and now im grounded for 3 months my my mum and step dad for ease dropping

[Rock Soldier]

Now if they were going to do a hit, the ending would be different...for some.

[Rye2121]

lol that sucks...srry man.

[Rock Soldier]

What does the paperclip do?

[ac1D]

do you have the seven autorization from the author of the picture to use them?

[ReCreate]

No,They never do,They just rip the pictures off.

[xMastermind]

wow that mad over pictures?!?! lol...sad

[ReCreate]

What do you mean?

[grundisimo]

oops i just pressed it.

[batman96]

goto dollar tree and buy a 1$ (duh) listening device and get a long extender audio cable and tada you are done

[1nv3nt3r]

This was in one of the evil genius books but the design also incorporated a sensitive audio preamp.

[Lithium Rain]

Cool, I'd like an ible on how to do this with cell phones and connect it to the computer via USB with bare wires, like in burn notice!

[psi3000]

Nice quick idea. You could also solder a jumper on the PTT button and put a pre-amp to the mic to help pick up the lower voices.

[fegundez1]

use the vox feature and the walkie talkie should auto send by voice instead of having to hold down the talk button
