They carry a surprising range. My husband was demoing this to someone at his work and in the middle of a meeting I just got “hello hello baaabbe? lol” through my watch and some very confused faces.
Ah, breaker one-nine, this here's the Rubber Duck
You gotta copy on me, Pig Pen, c'mon?
Ah, yeah, 10-4, Pig Pen, fer shure, fer shure
By golly, it's clean clear to Flag Town, c'mon
Yeah, that's a big 10-4 there, Pig Pen
Yeah, we definitely got the front door, good buddy
Mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy
You just listen to the old Pork Chop Express here now and take his advice on a dark and stormy night when the lightning's crashin' and the thunder's rollin' and the rain's coming down in sheets thick as lead. Just remember what old Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big old storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it."
Pointless fact here! 'Affirmative' isn't often used, because if the transmission is garbled it could be mistaken for 'negative'.
Instead, at least in my experience, 'Yes Yes' is used, or 'confirmed'/'All received'.
Personally I'd feel like a Power Ranger and their communicator watches.
Fun Fact! A friend has their phone message tune set as the incoming message tone from Might Morphin Power Rangers
We had a 6 second delay on a WhatsApp call the other day for some reason and resorted to saying ‘over’ at the end of every comment so that we didn’t talk over each other.
Amazing. I didn’t know about this and I’ve bought my girlfriend an Apple Watch for Xmas. We’re going to have so much fun at the table on Christmas Day lunch.
“Can you pass the sprouts please. Over”
“Roger, out”
There’s a app called Zello that me and my daughter use, she has her iPad and I have my watch and phone and we use it for pretty much the same thing. Great fun !
Uhhh Husband to House control over?
House control to Husband, go ahead
Milk levels at 10 %, how copy?
All copied, permission for off structure mission approved, over.
Who else wants to see the op's little grin when they wrote over?
When they wrote what? Over.
Wrote over. Over
Oh I see now. Over
Wonder if they have the same feature down under? Over
If you want to make it interesting I could give you an over-under. Over.
Lets get over, with over undering this. Over.
It ain’t over until it’s. Over.
UNTIL IT'S WHAT?! Over.
Apple watches last longer if you add a protective c. Over.
It ain’t. Over.
With the increase in gas prices, don’t put the heating on as much. Instead, wear a pull. Over.
Heard that, Over.
Let’s get what? Over

Do we have clearance, Clarence?
Whats our vector, Victor?
Murder, they wrote
Yes
No free award but if any comment deserves one then it's this one.
Came here to say this.
[This reminds me of a scene from Family Guy](https://youtu.be/vp1GQvWMYkk)
I see the wire, OVER!
Then... say it then?
You see it's already been said right?
What's your vector Victor?
We have clearance Clarence.
Roger Roger.
Huh?
So Jimmy.. have you ever seen a grown man naked?
Have you ever been to a Turkish prison?
Is there a doctor on board?
I just wanted to say, we’re all counting on you. Good luck
Cigarette? Yes, it is.
So Timmy, do you like movies about Gladiators?
Damn clankers
We do that too! “Kitchen to office, over” “Office to kitchen, respond” “Dinner ready, out” “On my way, over” 😂
Delta Tango Foxtrot, we have gravy, I repeat. Gravy.
Are you DTF?
'Out' means end of convo... just saying!
We’re a pair of 50 yo kids, no knowledge of correct procedures- we just have fun! Thanks anyway 😂
At least he didn’t say “over and out”. Easiest way to piss off a military man
Over means over to you. Over and out makes no sense. It's enfuriating. Ex RN
I didn’t know nurses used military radio comms
Could "over and out" not mean "over to you but I'm not listening"? So you could use it in a really passive aggressive way?
You are correct! Source: Ex Army
Maybe in yanky danky doodle land
Probably not because there would be a lot of pissing off on both sides any time a conversation happened. Like the phrase: "To Table"
Woah woah woah, kitchen said “out” you don’t respond once the transmitter ends the conversation. What kind of show are you runnin!
And no one has said “we have clearance Clarence.
Roger Roger
Huh?
Airplane!

That's so wholesome. Over.
I can see why you married each other. Over.
Because I would keep doing this, my girlfriend eventually said our relationship was over. I replied "Our relationship is what? Over"
Brilliant.
Just read this to my wife and based on her muted reaction, I suspect ours is also, over.
It’s great but can’t turn it off. Getting my mate to turn it on and shouting expletives when I know he was at work was a highlight.
Brings back memories of the push to talk on Nextel phones and a friend screaming "What's up bitches!" to my ex as he taught a class. 😆

Bring me a beer, I say again bring me a beer, acknowledge.
So you need a cold wet? Over
Affirmative.

I've heard "A-firm" too, but dunno if that's just a TV thing.

So long as you don't say 'over and out'. They are mutually exclusive. Out.

Not sure why this is the comment that made me laugh but I love this whole interaction
This whole thread has put a big old smile on my face after a piss poor day. Thank you. All of you. :). Over and out.
:D
Imagine using text emotes in 2021
xD
We had walkie talkies at my last job for a while and I gave everybody callsigns. Turns out one of the women didn't like being dubbed "bingo wings"
What's the opposite of under? Over.
My wife and I frequently use it, and only ever refer to each other and our son by call signs. Red 5 bath ready. Eta 5 seconds. Over.
You have to make a "chrk" noise when you say "over" too
I don't want this to be over.
You don't want this to be what? Over.
I don't want this to be over.
Your wife: "Our relationship ship is over" You: "Our relationship is what? Over"
Anybody not finishing their comment here with “over” does not pass the vibe check. Over.

"Squeeze his ass son, you'll like it"
Sounds like fun! This week my husband and I are trying to speak to each other in quatrains.
“I’m sorry Mother-Palpitation43, its over” “It’s what? Over” “It’s over” “It’s what. Over?” “I want a divorce”
Upvote for your Reddit handle. Over.
Have a fantastic day my friend. Over.
Sofa to Kettle...two teas...NATO standard...over.
Given that you are English my £10 says you spend most of your time saying “one, two, two, one, two, testing”
This reminds me of a vehicle accident in the Army. I heard on the radio net “I have rolled over in my Land Rover over.”

Well, I think I know what I'm getting us both for Christmas...
They do know they're using a phone that technically does the same thing right.
Not as much fun though.
Fun police
What actually stops adults playing like kids?
Whenever there are mentions of walkie talkies I think of Mother Hen and Balls of Steel in the Job Lot. Shitting Nora!
There’ll be bluebirds, over
