why do I need this for my purchase of the walkie talkie

You don't. The radio can be programmed with the keypad. Remember these radios aren't simple walkie talkies. You need an amateur radio license to legally use them.

It lets you to connect to your computer to program your walkie talked with "chirp" a free program.

It streamlines the programming. Manual programming takes substantially longer. While you don't "need" this cable, it makes it easy to go online and enter all of your local frequencies and program them all to your radio simultaneously. As a reminder, this is an amateur radio, not a walkie talkie.

The frequencies used by these radios are reserved for amateur radio use by the FCC. Unauthorized use can result in seizure of equipment and thousands of dollars a day in fines.There are radios you can use for short range communications though. Look for radios that use the FRS (Family radio service) frequencies. They have a similar range (~30 miles). Just search for FRS radio on Amazon. CB radios are another option that does not require a license.

It's not required, but what it allows you to do is program frequencies in faster than by hand. It also allows for alpha tagging which is basically naming a frequency. In other words, 146.925 could be programmed to say "Ch South" or whatever you want.

You don't strictly "need" it. I use it on Lake Powell to talk to the gas dock operators or to call for mechanical help if necessary.

I'm confused on this too. I did a review on the phone, not sure why you need the MEID...

Really, you're not going to need one unless the quality of the unit I received was an anomaly. This thing will crap out quickly.

Well, I don't know. I have not used it before. Why you asking, do u want to buy

No, you don't need anything else. They explain how to pair with the intercom feature in the manual.

You need the base station. I found this unit at Walmart. Since then, I have never found it there again. I needed another doorbell for the back door so I found it at Amazon. The price for the complete unit was the same as Walmart. The reason for my purchase was my husband. He was very ill, and under Hospice care. This worked great. He could communicate with me from any where in our home. Also when visitors came to the door, he could see them and communicate with them without actually going to the door. Hospice thought this was a great tool.

The battery is part of the package and you need not purchase it separately.

I don't know. I asked someone at the company that I bought the item through and they were able to tell me what I needed.

This is a two way radio operating on CB frequency range. If you're talking about a walkie talkie it would have to be on the same frequency. Some of those newer two way hand held radios don't operate on the CB radio frequencies. It's just like you can't hear FM radio stations on a AM radio. They don't operate on the same type of frequency. You can get handheld radios at radio shack that will operate on the CB frequencies.

I can't tell you. You have to try the frequenties on the walkie talkies. Because every region needs another frequency.

You likely need one if you do not have a digital TV, but if you do have digital TV, then this acts as an antenna to bring in the digital channels in your area. Place it in a window if you can seems to work better then. It is good for when you do not get local channels on your satellite TV like us! It can pull them in for you.

No other hardware is necessary just make sure that you purchase an analog phone and that you have analog lines

Don't quite know what you are asking. The purpose of purchasing the battery eliminator is so that you save on purchasing batteries to operate the snap circuit board. You can use the short circuit board with just batteries and not use the battery eliminator. Hope this answers your question.

That charger came with the original packaging for those walkies. I had to order another charger because original was lost. Ordered same charger. I like it.

You can buy it from Walmart/Radioshack or any electronic store; just take it to Walmart, so they can know what you are talking about.
