    It was a novel idea, but ended up returning for a more powerful set of radios

    This set of radios come with a function called vox which is like handsfree in the child's pair. This is way too sensible and it is not possible to deactivate it, as soon as you put those radios closer, the feedback is super annoying and there is no support in the internet to help you out to disable it. Simply don't buy it.

    This cobra units work outstandingly. They have one drawback....even when turned off the batteries will drain in a relatively short period of time.

    I wanted something cheap and easy to communicate with my houseboat buddies while we are out camping. These fit my needs.

    This product works well and has decent range but not the 8 Miles. Also I did not read to gather that yellow talks to yellow and orange to orange, wish they communicated together in case of an emergency. Also 2/4 are rechargeable- why not all?

    These are great for kids as the main radio stays with the parent and the lanyard help unit goes with the kids and easy to use.

    Bought these radios and something must be wrong as VOX keeps on coming on the child radio for no reason. It is so touchy just by waxing over the child radio it will go off. I have return them already. No wonder they are discontinued.

    We purchased these to use when we go camping, the range is good and they are small enough to keep in your pockets. They are colorful so they are easy to find if you lay them down. I recommend these to anyone for camping.

    Never worked

    From the moment I opened the package and put batteries in then charged the other port they never worked. I changed the batteries several times and still never got the walkies to turn on, not even a flash or anything. The kids walkies that can be recharged through a plug in port did flash red from the moment i plugged in but the other parts for the parent did not work.
