    Bought these because they advertise 35mile range. I knew that wouldn’t be true but I was hoping to get at least 1-3 mile range. When I tested them out in a rural mountain area I could only get around half a mile distance so I decided to return them.

    I have been searching for a decent hand-held radio with a good range and low price. We recently moved to a 160-acre property and this radio had excellent range and sound quality. Granted the property is fairly flat with a few trees, but I am satisfied with the purchase. Programming it was easy as well. Another great feature is access to NOAA extreme weather information.

    great radios; not so great add-ons

    radios are clear and easy to operate. Charging adapter is compact and works well. However, ear buds are HUGE! Very uncomfortable, not usable for duration of need. Should have bought just the radios ($25 cheaper)
