The walkies work great for a short distance, but there is no way they work for a 35 mile radius. Maybe if there is only fields in between the two people using it will it work 35 miles. If there are any structures in the way you are lucky if they work for 1 mile. I am kind of disappointed by buying those. I thought I got the best out there, but this sure isn't it.

Purchased these to use at work in a busy, noisy location. They work great! They keep the background noise down when talking and listening.

These walkie talkies are what you probably already think they are. Good for a small jobsite or for kids for fun. The published range is no where near where I can use them as a matter of fact at the jobsite I am using them on I cannot go 1/2 mile. If you want an inexpensive non critical communication device, go ahead with this one.

Weather channel wasn't too bad. Had a little trouble getting the signal to listen to your local weather. I thought it had good features because of the waterproof and multiples sources of power.

Work fine and have nice features. Just know that the stated talk distance is no where the real talk distance. I have not tried to test them under different conditions and distances. they serve my purpose of less than 3 miles and do well.

We're in the Houston Mini group and we travel with other Mini vehicles in the area and when we caravan together we all use these walkie talkies and we hadn't had any issues yet communicating with a group of fifty cars in hilly areas.

I bought these for a cruise. They worked like a gym. Our room was mid to aft of the ship on the second floor with a cove balcony room. I didn't have any trouble contacting others from our group if they were anywhere on 10th floor lido or on the 5th level casino. I like the walkies a lot and the features of isolating channels for use meant that no interference with other walkies occurred. These also work with the previous model with no issue at all.
