Very satisfied I'm very pleased with this purchase. I originally tried a much more expensive pair and was quite dissatisfied with the back ground noise level. The only negative comment is the range doesn't come close to the distance advertised and I sort of resent that. In our case we are not using them for long distance communication and I understand no walkie talkie has great range Very Good Radio And Bargain I will be the first to admit that the Cobra 4200 would not be my recommended radio is you are someone that constantly challenges the savage elements, and overland communication such as this may come to be a life and death situation. On the other hand if most of your outdoor excursions really are of the milder variety where getting lost is more of just a minor inconvenience overall, this set of radios is a fine choice indeed. Simply speaking, the Cobra 4200s are the cheapest set of radios I could find with a decent dependable range, and receive the NOAA broadcasts as well. I could not find a cheaper set of 2 way radios on Amazon that came with NOAA weather, period. For what its worth these set of Cobras have performed admirably through all the times they have been called upon, and received NOAA weather forecasts loud and clear always. One should be advised however that if weather reception is important to you in a radio, this unit does not receive emergency alerts through NOAA. That is to say, it cannot be left in a standby mode while a weather channel is selected whereby if a hazardous weather alert is activated, you will receive an alarm. (For a very reasonably priced set of two radios that do have a NOAA alert feature, see the link enclosed.) For most of us that will not be a concern, or a reason not to buy this good set of two way radios that are in my opinion and excellent value.
