Cobra - MicroTALK 16-Mile, 22-Channel FRS/GMRS 2-Way Radios (3-Pack) - Black

These are very nicely made and best of all they are rechargeable

They were OK, a little spotty but OK. I was hoping to get much better connection.

I bought these for a road trip with several famlies (much quicker to use than a cell phone and can converse with a larger group). They worked well for keeping everyone in contact. They held a charge for several says, they are easy to use, and they take up very little space. Only knock on them was the distance at which they still worked clearly.

Aside from interference from job sites, office parks, business campuses, etc., that use radios with the common channel frequencies that I pass by in the dual passenger compartment vehicle that I drie for which I purchased these, they are definitely worth the money especially since you get three instead of two. No charger base but individual rechargeable aaa's which can be used for anything else. 9 total rechargeable AAA's. Anything running off a USB power cable that can also either be powered with rechargeable AAA's can charge the batteries while the device is plugged in. Not sure if it has the same features as a true weather radio, but it has a solid thorough repeat weather broadcast channel stating current temp, wind, and precipitation for the major US cities. I'm sure a weather emergency would be reported intermittently.

16 miles? Maybe in the desert where there are no trees and the ground is flat. Definitely not 16 miles of range in the Mid- Atlantic region. Size is convenient. Signal varies at Snowshoe Mountain Resort. Was hoping the range could reach from top of mountain to the lower runs and lifts but the voice part did not. Batteries lasted on full day before needing a charge. These are better than the old ones we had but still not quite what we were hoping for. Glad we bought them on sale.
