    I picked up these radios to stay in contact with my kids while I WFH during these past few months. This has been a great way to stay in touch while still remaining productive. They have good range and clarity and will work around a couple bock radius even with all the obstructions in between. I'm guessing that we get about 1/2 to 1 mile distance as the crow flies in the neighborhood. The range get a little better when you're in more of an open area without all the obstructions. The 35 mile rating would most likely be effective over an open area like water or field. Either way, they are not bad for the price and have some decent features.

    Works for what it is intended for. Okay connection when inside. I have yet to try to this in the mountains, but manual says that its good for direct line of sight. Main use is for off-roading spotter communications. Picks up weather signal great what I used it for most, good battery life, very durable and easy to carry with good clips.

    I’ve owned many motorola talkabout radios over the years. I like these a lot. So much I bought more because every time I take a friend hunting they never seem to have a radio. We don’t have cell phone service in the mountains and need to communicate. They work great up to a couple miles in the mountains. If I am on a ridge top they do work further away than that. But it all depends on the terrain. We also use them if we have people in multiple vehicles going on road trips as well. They work great for us.

    So I bought this as a multi functional walkie. My daughter loves to play with them and I also hunt. I needed something rugged for both purposes. This is a very rugged walkie talkie I love the fact it has a flashlight as well as a long range and weather updates. Now the bad part about this walkie talkie is the actual microphone itself. If you press the button to speak it takes a second to pick it up or a second to recognize someone is talking and will miss part of anything you say on the other end. This requires a little patience. This also was my fault but I thought it came with 2 walkie talkie is and it only comes with one.

    We went to a amusement park and had no problems using this set. Also used during a 3 hour drive with a 3 car convoy. Ivox hands free is a god send too. Only draw was I had to get a license to use the GMRS channels. 70 bucks for 10 years with the FCC. Great for when your separated from your love one's when cellphone services fail.

    These radios are phenomenal! They have a vast range, impressive features, not to mention they look very sleek. My family and I have a Disneyland trip planned, and we'll get some usage out of them at that time.

    I am a licensed ham radio operator and I am used to expensive high-end equipment. I purchased these for emergency use to communicate with my family and friends who are not licensed. Let me tell you, I am impressed with the quality and the crisp and clear sound it has. Maybe the older versions had issues, but I do not see any issues with these. They are well worth purchasing.

    Relatively cheap compared to a lot of others out there but they work great. We got them for our kids to have one while they're outside playing. My wife walked to the park which is a couple miles away and they worked perfectly from the house to there so that was pretty neat.

    This is a very good package... carry case, radios, ear buds, belt clips, rechargeable batteries, charging cord. I've had quite a few different FRS/GMRS radios over the years from just about every manufacturer. When it came time to get a new set, I chose this one.
