    Everyone suddenly have access to some sort of walkie-talkie, and everyone can talk to each other, even when miles apart. They even find some at the hospital. These are devices which hadn't been charged for at least 18 months, and probably have no charge in them.

    I understand the plot device, but how realistic is this?

    There does seem to be quite a surplus of these.

    Everywhere you turn, walkie talkies!

    Sometimes there are walkie talkies in the boxes the trucks leave. So I guess the idea is that there was a bunch of them at the truck hub. Probably with fresh batteries. I think the idea is that they are all relatively close to each other. But they do always seem to hit the same channel ;)

    Maybe they all agreed on a channel?

    Poor writing.

    They separated the characters and couldn't come up with a better solution of how they would all find each other. So what the hell, make every one of them find walkie talkies that are all set on the same channel.

    It's as if the new writers haven't grasped the consequences of the apocalypse. They are partially stuck in our world where people can get in touch with each other by talking into a handheld device and where it would be natural to bump into their friends.
