I GOT A LITTLE TIP FOR THE RADIO
THESE RADIO'S COMES WITH A CTCSS THIS IS USED WITH A REPEATER A REPEATER IS LIKE AN TOWER THAT HELPS LINK-UP WITH OTHER GMRS RADIO'S IT GIVES A GMRS RADIO'S MORE LONG RANGE THERE ARE RADIO CLUBS IN ALMOST EVERY CITY FIRST YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR LICENSE FIRST ONCE YOU GET YOUR LICENSE YOU CAN LOCATE YOU CLUB IN YOUR CITY HERE'S THE WEB-SITE TO CONTACT THE RADIO CLUB IN YOUR CITY WWW.MYGMRS.COM REMEMBER YOU MUST GET YOUR LICENSE FIRST ONCE YOU LINK-UP WITH THE REPEATER YOU'LL BE ABLE TO TALK-UP TO 27, OR 30 MILES THE REPEATER ACTS LIKE AN WIRELESS CELL-PHONE YOU GET A LONGER RANGE. I'M GOING TO LINK-UP MY GMRS TO THE REPEATER ONCE I GET MY LICENSE. I HOPE THIS INFORMATION HELPS YOU OUT.
very disappointed in range
We got these expecting better range. After doing a lot of research, I knew it would be no where close to the 30+ miles they advertise, and would have been happy with just a couple of miles.
Only tested on one outing: open interstate highway only got about 3/10 of a mile. Extremely disappointing! And this was after purchasing the $85 license to use them in GMRS high power mode!
Other features are nice, including the weather radio. But if you're looking for range...better try somewhere else.
Industrial warehouse use
I ordered 4 sets of these for use in a large warehousing operation. Our associates really like the product, but we have had to return 1 set. Of the 2 radios I returned, one would not power on and the other one had very low volume when turned up all of the way. The return process was extremely easy to use and thus far, we have had no additional problems. I found the pricing on Amazon the lowest due to the free shipping that went along with the order.
