 Great Radios for people who know how to use them! August 25, 2010

This is a great product. I have read other peoples postings about not working around their block. Well they are not made for that. There is too much interference in a neighborhood. If you want radios that will work in these areas you will have to pony up a little more money. You don't see police and paramedics with GMRS radios do you? I do a lot of hunting and these work great for their intended purpose. I can be all over the mountain and still hear others with me that are miles away. Great sound quality and battery life.
 Good radios July 21, 2010

We use radios on our 20-acre property, where we're thinning trees and doing other outdoor work. Radios are a lot better than hand signals when we're working together, and easier than running around looking for each other when we're apart. Since some of the work is dangerous, radios are a good safety measure.
We bought these radios recently to replace a pair of the predecessor model that we wore out. (Too much rough handling broke one of the antennas, I think, and reception went downhill.)
We have been happy with both pair. This model has more channels, otherwise the same features. Power and reception are very good in hills and forest over the 1/3-mile maximum range we use them in. One battery charge lasts all day.
The top volume does not seem to be quite as loud on the new pair. I wish they came in some color other than camo -- drop one on the forest floor and you'll need the other radio to locate it.
We used over-the-ear boom headsets with the first pair, and we got the "security" headsets for this pair. We wear them under hearing-protection earmuffs around noisy equipment. Nonetheless, the noise of a diesel tractor or chainsaw will drown out the transmission, whether you're speaking or listening.
The headsets and batteries are interchangeable with the previous model; the charging bases are not.
