Good for close range...
I just purchased these radios because I wanted a long-range two way communications system. I go paintballing, fishing, hiking alot. I tested them out by having someone at my house with one, and then I drove in my car with the other one. I wasn't impressed at all, I only got about 1 1/2 miles out of them, even on high power. I don't live in the mountains, city, or thick woods either.
Although they didn't get that long of a range out of them, I still recommend them if you are going hiking or biking. I also like the "tactical headsets" that go with radios.
Bottom line, don't get them expecting to get a 5-14 mile range. That only happens in open areas. But, you really have no choice if you want two-way-radios because the 14 mile range is the maximum they make right now.
The best yet
I've had several over the years. All have had interference problems. These don't, because of the privacy codes. The range is also the best I've ever had. Very easy to use, even in the dark. An excellent buy.
everything I wanted and more !
they work great. they have all the power you would ever need. you can't beat the warranty. the price was the best I found. very happy with the product.
