    Works Fine Around the House....Up To 2 Blocks

    Selected these after reading a lot of reviews.....wanted a blend of quality at a fair price, that didn’t look like toys. We use them instead of an intercom system in a 2-story house. They work well, inside and out of the house, down the block to about 1-2 block distance (200 yards). After that, start getting noise.....tried it from the supermarket parking lot about 3 blocks away and it was just about useless. We don’t plan on using outside of the immediate house grounds anyway, so that said, it makes life easier instead of yelling in the house. About what I expected, you need more power for longer distances and that costs a lot more. Battery life is short, leaving it on all day with sporadic use pretty much makes you recharge it for the next day or it will be very low. No big deal in our case. Got 3 units for about $65 or so by price matching Amazon.

    Freedom and Peace of Mind (and quiet)

    Might be knit picking on this but there is no retail packaging, just a brown box - Was giving this to the kids for Easter and would have preferred a better way of presenting, other than that... these are AWESOME! Tested them across town to the park and worked like a charm - (mind you under 1 mile range so I was hoping there would be 0 issues) they also work well in our wooded campground seasonal site and gives freedom, peace and quiet (along with peace of mind) for us and the kids! It was also a better value than the 2 pack at only $10 more, it was a no brainer. Do yourself the favor and get the licensing for GMRS to avoid problems.

    Present for my nephew, they work for a long range. They can be at the park in their neighborhood and talk to their house. He loves them and they seem pretty sturdy.

    We use these excellent communicators to stay in touch when on a cruise, hike,or other outing. We like the ability to have sub channels to ensure privacy and keep our communications to our group only. Excellent sound quality and great value for the money.

    These work well and are well made. I use them for talking between cars when on group drives in remote areas that don't have cellphone reception.

    Works as good as more expensive units and comes with a headset and carrying case. Only drawback is it’s not as loud as others.

    We purchased these to use in our child care centers to help speed up the pick up process in the evenings. They work great so far and seem to have great battery life. One center is ~6,000 sq ft and the other is ~9,000 sq ft.

    Very nicely made,, however too complicated to operate for this 90 year old. I am looking for a really simple walk-in talkie with only One channel.

    My husband and I purchased these so while we were hunting on opposite ends of our hunting property we could let each other know when something was headed in their direction. We found that their was way to much static when other was trying to whisper. Not a good pair if your using for hunting.

    Our car club recommends these radios, purchased the 35 mph radius range and they work well. Also a good idea to use where cell phone service is sketchy or nonexistent.
