 A steal of a deal! September 13, 2008

I bought a pair to see how they would work for a local communications net and they were great! Sure, they lack a lot of the fancy bells and whistles but they have range and clarity that some of the other hand-held radios in the net lacked. Some of the other members were so impressed, they wanted to know where they could get some. I'm buying some more now before these babies sell out, again!
Good, basic communication option. Fairly long range, easy to use, batteries included, and good price. What's not to love?
Excellent for the price September 9, 2008

Bought these as knock around radios for the kids so they didn't need to play with my nicer Motorola talkabouts. For the price these are excellent radios. They have been tested out to just under 1 mile over water (opposite sides of the local lake). The included batteries are kind of like the inkjet cartridges you get with your printer... just enough juice for you to test the product, but not enough for real work. Don't head into the field on the included batteries! A buddy and I hiked into a high mountain lake to fly fish with these radios and they were great for us to brag "fish on" when we were too far apart to see each other. At $10 each they were a guilt free purchase, even knowing they won't see daily use. Very happy with the quality and performance at this price point.
As cheap as the toy, but works! July 28, 2009

These walkie talkies do everything I need. Bought them for the kids who were always disappointed by the garbage toy ones sold in stores. Those were unable to transmit clear sound from any distance. For a few bucks more, I got these which work amazingly well. No interference. Clear transmission. Easy to use. I've only tested these as far as 1/4 mile away because that's why we bought them. But there was no issue at all and I could see them going much further. Only problem was the AAA batteries going dead after what seemed like a few hours of constant use. But I guess that's to be expected from 3 AAA batteries. I would rather put in 3 more or buy rechargeables than have some more expensive battery type. I would highly reccomend these as they work very well and are so inexpensive.
Excellent and I order MORE September 10, 2009

I ordered these for a camp, in order for the adults to be able to instantly communicate with each other, as some of the cellphones would not work well, due to various carriers not having service in that area. These radios worked out great. I realized that I needed more and I have since ordered more for next years camp. Every adult decided they needed to have one. This new enhancement has taken our camp to a higher level. The sound is crisp and clear. The range of them is excellent for our needs. It has a range of up to 12 miles, but we only needed like 2 miles. It has many channels to select from. I have no complaints whatsoever. I took extra batteries and was prepared to switch them out every other day. No big deal for me. The value of them and the use of them outweighed the need to switch out batteries.
A 'best buy' in handheld GMRS/FRS radios! Great quality! January 3, 2009

I've been a longtime Ham Radio, shortwave, and scanner enthusiast, and have owned many many handheld transceivers throughout the years, including 5 pairs of GMRS/FRS radios. I've owned this set now for a few months, and they work better than more expensive sets I own. The radios are VERY intuitive and easy to use, and have excellent receiver sensitivity and Xmit range. Ergonomically, they feel very good in your hand, and have decent battery life. A steal at the current price!
