2way radio - which and where (in Munchen) to buy

I'm travelling for ski vacation to Kitzbuhel with mu family.
I will need at least a pair of 2way radios.
I found that Midland's are getting good reviews - not sure they are
available in Europe (?)
I am flying to Munchen - any recommendations on shops for the radios
there?
Thanx in advance,
Paul

Mediamarkt and Saturn are some of the big chan high street electronic
stores found in most cities. PMR446 is the euro standard for consumer
radios - but note Switzerland I understand has different rules.

It might also be worth asking in this english speaking Munich resident

Oh sure - loads of people use ordinary over-the-counter walkie-talkies
in France and the rest of Europe. As long as you get ones that work
within the approved spectrum, it'll be no problem.

We've used a pair of Motorola TA200 and T5422 in France several times
and they've been fine. They have a range of 3Km (2 miles) but are "line
of sight". i.e. Anything in the way cuts down the range. However, so
long as you are on the same side of the mountain they are great for
meeting up with lost companions.

We got the last pair from a website in the UK that were pretty good (I
have no affiliation with them) http://www.twoway-radio.co.uk/ and having
just looked at it again I fancy a pair of Talkr T5s as they list 6km range.

I have seen many people using walkie-talkies in Les Arcs. It is ammusing
to watch them trying to communicate with someone in Arc 2000 when they
are in 1800. You must be in the same valley for them to work and I am
not sure if they will work from Villaroger to Arc 2000.

We use mobile phones either texting or phoning. Since we use them at
most once a day the cost does't work out too expensive.
