Customer Reviews:
I have had FRS since the start.......2003-06-23
-rechargable batteries save a lot of $$$
-rubberized trim for protection
-auto-off to save batteries
-call beeps, we use them as "code"
-large display
-good size belt click with no need for a case
-the dog doesn't like the taste of these antennas. :>
I have two of these, I am buying a third for guests. I found the best radio!
nice features, mediocre sound.......2002-12-01
I got mine from Office Depot for about the same price as the lower end T5300 series using a combination of store and manufacturer coupons. Otherwise, I'm not sure they'd be worth the extra money.
Not better than Midland G11C2.......2002-08-28
They were returned to BestBuy for refund!
With license fee paid, I bought a pair of Midland G11C2. they are lightweighted/easyhandled, less fansy features but at least gave me 3 to 4 miles distance in a driving car and almost five miles at Jersey shores, though consuming battery fast. I think I will stay with them for a while before better models come out.
TERRIBLE Range.......2002-07-31
Not bad over all........2002-07-08
I wish they would have kept the weather channels but you can't have everything. Over all they aren't all that bad.
