SeaTalkie connecting in UHF radio band. Thus SeaTalkie can connect to other walkie talkies. Furthermore, Different walkie has different features. Some have further transmit range, some have larger batteries, some are louder in speaker. And SeaTalkie is featured strongly in waterproof, simply operating and mounting accessories for sports. Therefore, for better performance, A team may integrate different featured walkies all together to optimise the performance of communication. Of course including SeaTalkie.
There are chest strap, vest mount, helmet mount and paddle mount. Thus SeaTalkie is suitable for different usages.
We developed a new method to enhance waterproof function. There are no coverings, thus SeaTalkie is “always waterproof”.
t is the concept of “User experience” design. The most user only needs the PTT (push to talk) button during activities.So it is not necessary to put all the buttons on the walkie. Thus we just reserve 3 buttons on SeaTalkie, the other functions are set by smart phone apps. These can simplify the design, smaller in size, and the most important thing is that users will not press the wrong button during exciting activities, especially for children.
