This walkie talkie is nice but...
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.The neighborhood range is <0.5 miles in my neighborhood. If you are driving in seperate cars, this range basically means you cannot communicate with the other car just a few blocks away. But my main use case for this was for communication with my belayer during rock climbing. This works perfectly for that.

Great value, Good product design.
||Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.Great value with this option. I have not had a chance to test the full range but works great for around the house. Battery life can be short when you have Bluetooth and things turned on but it’s great that you can plug in to recharge. Lots of user settings, vibrate only, pair to phone via Bluetooth, weather alerts, several alert tones to choose from. The belt clip is a little flimsy, I would rely on it if hiking or hunting. Good looking product design.

Great radio with this great text message feature.
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.The text feature works well even without access to a cell tower. This is the only transceiver I have found in a GMRS or FMRS radio that has this a text message feature.

Works with older model
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.These are pricey but have the ability to send text messages like a micro cell tower. They also work with some older model Motorola’s. Buy only if you want to play with them since they have little practical use inner city. I have noticed very little to no interference but I chalk that up to very few people using the public frequency. To check if they work with older models you should do some research on frequencies that are available to the public.

What experts are saying
Q: Questionin the video it mentions these have GPS.. can anyone verify this ? Do they have GPS ?
Asked by mrmgj.
- A:Answer Yes and No, its not an active gps with a screen. It links to your phone with an app. Your phone acts as the gps. You can download a gps map of an area in advance and locate yourself on it without a cell signal.

Q: Questionwich is the best 2way radio
Asked by hans.
- A:Answer It depends on who would be using the radios and where they are while using them and what time of day or night they are using it. Can they wake up at 3 amp in an emergency and figure out how to use it? There are radios with a lot of buttons and frequencies, and some with few buttons and some radios with audible notifications that will tell you what channel you are on or tell you if you change to another channel, which wold be handy at night or in a foggy or smoke environment, but not so good if the user is hiding and wants to remain silent. These T-800 radios work like a typical moderate to easy to use radio. They can also be Bluetooth to a cellphone, download the app and if cell service is out or cell towers out of range, you can use the app on your cellphone to text message others in your group with the same type T-800 radio connected to their own cellphone, that is also running the app. You can also see where each person on the app map in your group, as long as they have a radio connected to their cellphone with the app running. We own three sets of these, so we have six of these radios. They can be used like a normal radios if they are connected to your cellphone of not. The range of any radios are always based on the location (mountains, flat lands, in a city with tall buildings or on a lake or ocean on boats, around electronics that can affect reception). Obviously on flat open areas like flat desert or in large fields or on water they should work to maximum range.
