Motorola - Talkabout 12-Mile, 22-Channel FRS/GMRS 2-Way Radios (Pair) - Blue

I picked these 2 way radios up yesterday at my local Best Buy and couldn't be happier with them. Naturally, the range for something of this nature is not going to be what's written on the package, but for their intended use, they're just fine. I'll be using the Motorola radios on an upcoming cruise and will be a good way to keep tabs on my pre-teen granddaughter when it's time to eat or whatever. I really like the idea of being able to use AAA batteries as well as the supplied battery packs that came with the radio. I don't know what the life expectancy of the batteries will be but with rechargable NiCads and a 15 minute charger, it shouldn't be a problem. These radios seem to be well constructed and everything works as advertised. In testing them, I was suprised how clear the other voice sounded from 1/2 to 3/4 miles away. That is more than adequate for my needs. Setting up the radios, following the instructions, was a piece of cake and they worked fine within just a few minutes of unpacking them. If you're looking for a set of 2 way radios, look no farther. You'll have a winner by picking these! And, no, I don't work for Best Buy OR Motorola!

I use four sets of these radios extensively and they have been very reliable. Reception is consistent and the range is between 10 to 12 miles. Had one problem of the turn on/ volume nob not work, but Best Buy kindly replaced.

We have a large family and when we go to the parks the older grandkids want to go one way the kids want to take the little ones another way we want the shows so this was the best thing we ever got. We all have one so that we can let each one know where we are at and so we can meet for lunch or just to do something together. It is small and light so even the teens like them.We can talk clear on them and understand every word. It's a great buy. Thanks.

Overall a vry good purchase. Very convnient taking the kids out (wife+1 one way, me +1 the other), parks, amusement parks, etc.

GREAT RADIOS FOR STAYING IN TOUCH ON THE SHIP. THE VOICES ARE CLEAR AND AUDIABLE. WEATHER CHANNEL IDEAL FOR SURF......

radio transmission is clear and of good quality, range is 10-12 miles and consistent, good product for the price

We bought these to use in our shipping department with 3 people & they are not meant for that! You can not understand what people are saying over the radios if there is any back ground noise. But I bet they would be great for family use! Weather Radio is a nice feature.
