Great For Hiking in groups.......2003-08-14

I bought this product because my family and I go hiking a lot, we have an age range of 55 to 5 on our trips with varying degrees of speed and endurance, these walkie talkies have let us enjoy walking together without everyone having to be in the same group, and everyone can enjoy the outdoors at their own pace without the worry of where we are and when we will meet up again. It is also nice to know how hot or cool it is as some of our trips are out in the desert, and the access to the weather channels has proven very helpful in our decions on how long the day trips should be and what trail we should decide on. I recommend these walkie talkies to anyone who likes to hike in groups.
The design of the radios as well as the headsets are extremely helpful once you get the hang of them of course, as they enable your hands to be free, and unlike some of the other headsets that are on the market where the mike is always on, there is a button that can be pressed to to key the mike. My ten year old and 5 year old are able to use them with no problems. We love them and are wondering what took us so long to get them.

This radio looks good... but that's as far as it goes........2002-01-31

The radio looks good and has nice features, but there is a problem that cannot be overcome.

You have to press the PTT button for at least 2 seconds before talking. Why? The PTT button is a dual-function button. Obviously it is a PTT, but it is also a Monitor button. This makes it necessary to hold it down for at least 2 seconds before talking. Getting people to realize this and have them remember to do this is next to impossible.

This made the radio very frustrating to use. I eventually sent them back for a refund.

get this if you're looking for a good two-way!!!.......2002-01-07

I bought this radio because of the added features of a weather radio and a FM radio.
It has great range and the weather radio is really nice!
The FM radio wasn't the clearest...but what do you expect from a 40 buck radio?
The headset fit me perfect and works great!!
This is a must have!!

a great time saver at the ski hill.......2001-12-31

I got these pair for my dad and little brother to use at a ski hill in NH. They are WONDERFUL! What a time saver for a group skiing at a resort- They allow you to ski at your own pace, without worrying about how you can meet up with your group. Plus, my little brother, who is 7 years old, could operate it easily. And you can't beat the price! What a fun product.

Walkie Talkie.......2001-12-22

The radio itself is great. Its got good range and pretty good clarity considering that it is a glorified walkie talkie. However, the headset is truly a marvel of oversight. The microphone gets about 3/4 of the way around your cheek. As it is not situated in front of your mouth or at least close to it, you have to shout to be heard or twist your face. I tinkered with it and managed to extend length of the micropphone a bit, but for (the money) you'd expect to get an easy to use product. Other than this annoying oversight, these radios perform well, and are well worth the price.
