If you want a toy, get this
I read the other person's interview, but still decided to try it. The farthest reception I got was when I was 0.5 Miles away from home (according to my GPS), I was able to talk to my husband. Even then, the sound was garbled with static, even when I was on the GMRS (not FPS) mode.
We tried using it in a mall (garden state plaza, NJ), and my husband and I could SEE each other, and we only saw our mouths move, but no sound came from our cobra LI6050's. Needless to say, it was bit embarrasing.
I just returned them and got the Motorla SX700R. Friend has a set, and we used them in camping trip and it works great. It says 12mile range, which also is a fiction, but at least it works in closer ranges.
I am throughly disappointed with the Cobras.
Really crappy radio
I bought these radios without doing my research and I'm regretting it now. The 17 mile range is so wildly exagerated as to be ludicrous. I can't manage anything more than 1.5 miles with them and as mentioned in another review, the speech quality is scratchy and garbled, even at closer range. My Cobra Micro-Talk FRS-105 radios have much better speech but not quite the range, although close. Never, never buy these radios. You will find them to be a waste of money.
complicated but good
lots of bells and whistles. don't know why all manufacturers are allowed to advertise ridiculous numbers for range. my experience has been 1-2 miles with gmrs and this is no different. i like this radio.
