Customers are saying

Customers regard the range of the 50-Mile, 22-Channel FRS/GMRS 2-Way Radios (Pair) as significantly less than advertised. Several users reported that communication range was considerably shorter than the stated 50 miles, with some experiencing difficulties even at much shorter distances. The radios themselves appear to be well-constructed, but the limited range is a major drawback for many customers.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    These radios are well made and easy to use! I bought 4 radios, we travel with at least 3 or 4 car groups. I like being able to communicate with all radios! Only minus was not able to get over 20 miles range of communications!

    I was tired of my son getting cheapo walkie talkies and his disappointment when they didn't actually work. These are great. The sound is clear and the distance so far has been great for us. There's a button that you push and it tells the weather. They've got a flashlight on the bottom of each handset which I hadn't realized originally.

    We use these for our Parking Team at our church. They work great and do not interfere with the sound system in the auditorium. They are also submersible which is great since they are used in the rain, etc.

    The device comes with 2 very very uncomfortable boom Mike headsets that are voice activated only and to top this off this unit is not compatible with any other headset that is made by unity and/or any other company so the whole experience was a huge waste of time for me why you would make something with such limitations in this day and age is lost on me what a terrible product and a waste of time

    Device is well made, seems sturdy but falls way short of the stipulated range, in my case it didn't even reach a mile in my town. So I would advice caution to any one buying these radios for the claimed communication coverage.

    I bought these GMRS walkie talkies to use around the house and when traveling. These are premium consumer radios rated at 50 miles. They have built in flashlight and are waterproof.
