1.5-mile most actually .......2006-01-16

I bought a pair from buy.com 2 years ago because it claims 10 miles effective distance. When we went to Vermont on two cars, we tested it on MA highway where no hills or other obstacles between us. The actual working distance is about 1.5 mile for the most. When it gets beyond that limit, the other end can't get out messages although they are visually in sight.

Plus, this item is pretty bulky to carry.

The only regret is there is no "0" star rank here.

Vibrate Alert.......2005-11-14

The first thing I did when I took the radios out of the box was to insert them into the charger. Charge them for 12 hours for the first time the instructions said. So then I left and went to work. When I came back, one of the radios was ON Vibrate Alert mode. The radio was turned off and sitting in the charging pod. It got even louder when I took it out of the charger and it would not stop till I finally took out the battery. These walkie-talkies are junk. Lousy range too.

Not Compatable.......2005-07-11

These radios are not compatible with the Motorola radios being used by my crews. They are not receiving a good signal from even 2 feet away much lest a mile or more. I would not recommend them to anyone for purchase or use.

MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT! .......2004-11-27

Well after reading the first two reviews, I purchased these 2-way radios at Best Buy. I tested them out after getting home and found I lost contact around 1/2 mile!! Yes it says UP TO 10 miles under optimum / perfect conditions, so you figure under not so perfect condition, at least get 5 miles or so. My 1/2 mile was in your typical town / suburb type setting. Both people testing this radio was outside too. Some houses, trees..etc around. Nothing of any major concern for interuption.

I figured ok, well at least give me a few miles, but NO! 1/2 mile was my maximum distance. The weather was clear, calm and cool, and I had fresh new batteries.

I will be returning these in the morning!

Nice Radios.......2004-11-25

I compared a number of brands simultaneously and chose to keep these. I was never in the open flat environment for maximum range,still I got 6.5 miles on one test with reasonable clarity. They outperformed all the others (Cobra,Uniden,Motorola)with regard to range and clarity. Nice display too.
Two complaints: 1)The battery meter is USELESS. The low battery indicator comes on at about the same time the unit dies. 2)It does not keep the settings of channel/subcode and power setting, if the battery dies, or are changed.
You cannot see the approx. battery strength as with the Motorola. Keep spare AA batteries on hand, or charge every night. Still Great sound. I thought better clarity than Motorla and Cobra. Uniden was also a nice radio, as 2nd choice!
