My wife and I used these to travel from
Dallas, TX to Sacremento, Ca. We went through literally every type of landscape. Mountains to Deserts. We were always able to keep in touch. Some chatter came through from truckers but whatever…
My only complaint is the battery life isn’t that good as we would have to recharge them daily even after minimum use. I would definitely upgrade for a survival scenario but they worked for what we needed. I’ll probably give them to the kids to play with.

I bought two sets and they all were compatible. Only problem we had was that occasionally we picked up another business on our radios. We could hear them but they couldn't hear us apparently. Sound quality is very good and the ear pieces are comfortable and easy to use. Held the charge for the 8-hour shift we needed.

Batteries last a long time on one charge. But the range is just nowhere close to what I expected. Couldnt hear my wife when she was at post office 3 miles away when I was inside my home office. Still they work well in the house and around the neighborhood.

Was looking a more inexpensive substitute for the current model that I have at my restaurant and gave these a shot. Wow was I surprised at how much better these work than the current ones. Highly suggest.

My kids love them! They’re very durable and easy to use. I was tired of buying the cheap ones and replacing batteries all the time. Love that there are 2 and rechargeable

Like functionality, e.g., VOX, channels, privacy codes and lightweight.
Sorry to say, rechargeable batteries supplied with the product struggle to last through 12 hours, even with very minimal transmit time.

This says good for 30 mile usage and it only would receive a signal at distance of .5-.6 miles away with a clear path. Very disappointing considering I bought these to be able to converse at a minimum 2 mile distance
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
