A marvel of modern manufacturing is how it can deliver radio transceivers for less than $8 for two - or cheaper than the 9 volt batteries required to run them.
Are such toys any good and how do they compare with what was available 30 years ago? Find out in this video where I do several range tests and comparisons.
In addition you'll see the extent to which modern construction has been used (or not) and how the old techniques of superregenerative receivers and free-running AM transmitters is used in a modern toy.
