INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can put any number of radios on a single frequency as long as they're all using the same transmitter and receiver. Get a number of radios based on how many people you want to have a radio. If you're just planning on chatting with a friend, get a pair. If you're hoping to staff a security team or other set of professionals, get 10-20 radios based on the number of employees or team members that you have. All of the walkie talkies that you plan on using need to be the same make, model, and brand. You may notice that it becomes difficult to track what people say if you have more than 10-15 people on a single frequency. This is a common issue with cheaper radios. If you want to use walkie talkies as a baby monitor or listening tool, get a version that has a "monitor" mode. While the radios may have been charged before they were packaged, it's a good idea to get them to full power before using them. Plug them into the charging stand or USB charger and wait until the light on the radio indicates that they're fully charged. Take the radio off of the charger and turn the dial at the top to turn it on. On most radios, you'll see a green light turn on. If it has a screen, this should pop on as well. Every style of walkie talkie is different, but almost every type of radio will have a light on the charger or walkie that turns on when it's being charged. Some radios use batteries instead of chargers. These aren't a good option if you're planning on using your radios regularly, since the batteries can be a pain to replace. Some cheaper radios won't have dials. Look for a power button if you can't find a dial to turn it on. Start with one radio. Turn the dial that says "channels" or "frequencies" to the "1" position. If there isn't a dial on top, look on the side for a wheel and rotate that to "1." If frequency is set on the LCD display, work through the menu until you find the setting to change the channel or frequency and set it to "1." Repeat this process for every radio that you plan on using. Before you split up the walkie talkies, make sure that they work by testing every single radio you plan on using. Turn the volume up as high as it will go and press the "press-to-talk" button before saying something. The press-to-talk button is usually the biggest button on the side of the walkie talkie. Confirm that each radio works before splitting them up. Once the radios are split up, it's a good idea to test them again just in case they're out of range or something is wrong with the antenna. If channel 1 isn't working, move to channel 2. Sometimes the individual frequencies get a little messy. This can be caused by other radio waves or interference. The number of frequencies ranges from 2-10 based on the type of radio you have. If none of the channels seem to work, double-check the volume knobs. Then, if they still don't work, look on each radio for a sync button. Hold the sync buttons down at the same time on every radio to link them up. If you're setting up radios for a security team, construction crew, school staff, or hospitality team, you need to get earpieces so that the conversations over the radio remain private. Get a set of radio earpieces that work with your brand of radio and have a built-in microphone. Plug an earpiece in, wrap the speaker around your ear, and press the button on the microphone built into the cord to talk to the other radios. To be on the safe side, buy your earpieces from the same company that makes your walkie talkies. This will ensure that they're compatible. Earpieces will also keep the person using the walkie talkie from missing information due to ambient background noise.

SUMMARY: Get at least 2 walkie talkies that are the same brand and model. Turn the radios on after charging them to full battery. Tune every radio you're going to use to the same frequency. Turn the volume all the way up on every radio and test them. Get earpieces if you're using radios professionally.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Singing and beatboxing at the same time may seem like an impossible task (especially at first). But it's actually quite easy. Below is a working sample that will help you get started. You can use this basic technique and later adapt it to any song. (b)if your (pff)mother (b)(b)on(b)(pff)ly knew(b)knew(pff) ("If Your Mother Only Knew" by Rahzel). Listen to the song you want to beatbox to a few times to find out where the beat goes. In the example above, the beats are marked out. This will help you get comfortable with the song. Most songs will have the beat in front of the words. In this case: "If" - Since the word "if" in our example starts with a vowel, it is easy to fit in the bass just before it, as though you were saying "bif." Note however, that the "b" must be low and if necessary, separate the beats from the words a little when you first start. "Mother" - The word "mother" starts with a consonant. In this case, you could drop the "m" and substitute it with the "pff" since they sound quite close when said together quickly. Or, you could stagger the word just a little so that the beat comes first, and the lyric slightly delayed. If you choose the first, you will end up singing "pffother." Notice that your top teeth contact your lower lip, which is what creates the m-like sound. If you can manipulate this, it will sound a lot better. "On" - For the double beat on "on," you can hum the pitch while doing "b-b-on," then come in straight away with "b pff-ly knew," all the while humming the pitch. For the "on," you might find that the sound breaks if you do the second bass beat. To remedy this, hum through your nose. This can be done simply by pushing the back of your tongue up to close off against your soft upper palate. This hum now comes out through your nose, and is not interrupted by what you do with your mouth. "Knew" - The word "knew" echoes and fades off. These steps can be adapted for any song with a beat. Keep practicing, with different songs and soon you will be able to ad-lib more easily.

SUMMARY: Sing and beatbox. Listen to songs. Sing the tune a few times with words. try to fit the beats with the lyrics. Adapt this skill.
