    So I've owned and used these radios for about a month now and have tried out most all of the features and found them very user friendly. The first thing most people want to know about is the range. First of all, ALL radios sold have exaggerated claims on their maximum range, period! In a perfect setting maybe they will work for 28 miles but you will NEVER be in a perfect setting. I used them in a huge factory building with lots of walls and machines in the way and they worked without any issues and have a nice loud volume too. We used them for 8 hours solid at a time and the battery life was barley down to 3/4. They could easily be used for several days without charging. Now for outside use. My nephew and I tested them in a typical urban neighborhood for a little over a mile before they started to break up a little in transmission. This was with many, many houses and trees in between us. Second test was in nearly perfect line of sight. Again over nearly a mile and 1/4 the sound was good and just starting to break up a bit. We also tried them while out mountain biking in the woods with elevation changes near 200 feet and had no problem talking in a 200 acre riding area. For what I paid for these I am very happy with them. They have decent features and work like they should. If you need more range then use your cell phone, but for most recreational uses I have encountered they work great and have exceptional battery life. If I had 1 complaint it would be that the charger needs to be plugged into a powered USB port to charge. I rarely have my computers on for more than an hour or 2 at a time so to charge I found a cheap wall plug in USB power supply that cost like $5 to use as a standalone charger.

    it looked like a deal. might be. The lack of miles made it a non value. great company. if you are on top of a mountain, it;s a mile value.

    Actual Range to Expect

    Range is deceiving. I have not purchased the radios but sell radio communications equipment. The 28 mile range advertised should have an *If one person is on top of a mountain and the other person is in the valley below with a clear line of sight. The radios are most likely 1 or 2 Watts max which will give varying ranges depending on what is in between the two radios and if there is any interference on the frequency being used. Talking from car to car on the highway or across the yard to around / in the house is the most suitable use. Please do not purchase expecting 28, 10, or even 5 miles in most situations. I am sure they are fine for what they were made for, just don't want anyone falling for the pipe dream of a 28 mile range.
