 Solidly Built, Great Battery Life October 7, 2008
I was pleasantly surprised with these units. They are not small: I have the GXT 550 units as well, and these are bigger with a larger antenna. They do not feel like toys!
I have only used them once, but the sound level was good in a very noisy environment (sideline in a football stadium). I've only used them to about a 1/4 mile distance so far, but they worked very well across campus with lots of buildings.
I am most surprised with the battery life. I accidentally left one of them on and it ran for about 30 hours on the rechargeable battery. That is much better than I expected.
All in all, I recommend these as a good value on a quality product.
Reliable Emergency Communications -Bettter than Cell Phones! September 29, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
WE selected and purchased these radios for use as part of our physical plant's disaster recovery and business continuity plan. They were affordable, accessories were readily available and extra batteries were also readily affordable, and (assuming that we might be facing a nuclear threat) they were small enough so that many of them could fit in our lead-protected vault to avoid having them rendered useless by the ensuing EMP (electromagnetic pulse) accompanying any nuclear explosion, and in our simulations of Nuclear, CHemical and Biological warfare, these devices performed as well if not better than Government-graded devices from Motorola -and were at one-tenth the price. In my opinion, two pairs of these, plus four extra sets of batteries should be a part of every family's disaster preparedness kit - right next to your duct tape and window film. We all hope nothing happens, but if it should, it is a great comfort to know that you are not alone, and it is a sure bet that if major transmission towers are knocked out, the civil and military authorities will be monitoring these FMRS frequencies for signs of individulas needing medical attention, rescue, or repatriation.
 NIce radio $85 extra to get FCC license!!! September 20, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This radio worked as expected and well but, try and do things the legal way and expect to pay an additional $85 for the FCC required license to use these. I looked around through all of the reviews and no where was this mentioned. I guess everyone else used them without the legal right from the FCC.
 Best there is even though "30 Mile Range" isn't possible on Earth September 12, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Best there is (now in year 2008) even though "30 Mile Range" isn't possible where I live. I live in suburbs and got 5 miles at best on max settings. The weather scanner is a nice feature that beats waiting for the news on tv hands down and I dare say better than using the internet.
Family friendly walkie-talkies... September 7, 2008
Clear and resonant...the range is not as advertised...perhaps if you were on a tower with a clear view of another, distant, tower you could transmit/receive over the claimed distance.
The best quality in this price range, without a doubt.
Highly recommended.
