after have bought a cobra li-5600-2 dx vp micro talk 20-mile range 2-way radio - 2 pack, i have decided to return these to best buy store, because it doesn't charge the lithium battery completely and

great radios and the cost it is cheap

at the parks, the voice was clear, no interruption by other radios due to the variety of channels, it has saved us a lot of tele-mobile cost.
from www.amazon.com
the voice quality is very good (as long as the volume is set just a bit lower than max).

and we don't have to listen to static, the radio only kicks on when it picks of noise.
from www.amazon.com
i favor motorola over others due to portability, durability, and (this sounds trivial) the "clip" that locks it to your gear.
from www.amazon.com
i really wish they would have come with more easy to use directions so i would give it a 4 because of that.
from www.amazon.com
have not done a range test with these yet, but all my other radios of various power levels will do 1-2 miles in an urban area with some hills and trees, and expect these will do the same.
from www.amazon.com
the clip system allows a "quick disconnect" of the unit while leaving the clip itself in place on your fishing vest (in my case)while charging the radio.

Midland LXT110 22 Channels

$17.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
all the features are quite typical for this sort of product.
from www.amazon.com
overall, i liked the radios, although there are flaws, the price is really good, the quality of construction is good and it does to some degree do what it is advertised to do.
from www.amazon.com
i have owned several pairs of walkie talkies ranging from cheap "toy" types to more expensive brand name 2 way radios.
from www.amazon.com
also, at this price it won't matter as much if she happens to break it.
from www.amazon.com
i haven't tested the range yet but it's very easy to use and very clear.

Midland 75-822 40 Channels

$86.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i am sure i can get better features and longer range with a permanent setup and a "big box" radio, but i am completely satisfied with this product.
from www.amazon.com
the noaa weather band capabilities only added to this versatility my only complaint is that the radio could use more volume output as it is sometimes hard to hear when used in a vehicle.
from www.amazon.com
i used this radio on 2000 mile 4 day trip on my harley and worked good the whole time, keep in mind though it only has a 4 watt output so range is lacking compaired to the other bikes i was with.
from www.amazon.com
the addition of a anl (automatic noise limiter) is one thing that could make this a very useful radio on the road.
from www.amazon.com
while this unit does offer many features there is one in particular that it is missing.

price is right!
from www.amazon.com
tests so far have found it to have good range, 1-2 miles in town, just as most radios.

the li-ion battery is a plus and gives it much longer battery life than any radio i've had before.

Midland GXT1000VP4

from www.amazon.com
we are never in an area that has cell reception so we decided to invest in a two-way radio.
from www.amazon.com
like the range is great as long as there is nothing in the way between the people you are talking to.
from www.amazon.com
the only complaint that i have is when putting them on the charger, it takes a bit of menuvering to get the charge light to go on...and i have had it go off after about 15 minutes before.
from www.amazon.com
our community emergency response team all use midland brand and my gxt1000 is the best for ease of use and many features.
from www.amazon.com
i brought the midland gxt1000vp4 radios to the fair and randomly selected a channel and privacy setting.

$80.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.circuitcity.com
the only thing i truly disliked about these is the fact that if i want to leave it on and keep it in the charger so i can havethe weather alert on while i sleep, it will damage the battery indicator,
from www.circuitcity.com
the ratings above are all based on price and value so overall, a great value for what you pay recommended
from www.circuitcity.com
in particular, their 'privacy code' feature (sub-audible tones) doesn't work as wellas typical for commercial radios....but, for what they cost, i certainly can't complain.
from www.circuitcity.com
most important thing with this or any frs is that you select the correct channels--not every one gives you the 5 mile range.
from www.circuitcity.com
the range is (as expected) not really 10 mile radios but i used them in car to car on the highway up to 6 or 7 miles on a clear day and i used them throughout a majorcity with many buildings for up

it is works as the seller claimed, i used it with my friends with about 1 mile range when hiking and it works very good.
from www.amazon.com
sure, they lack a lot of the fancy bells and whistles but they have range and clarity that some of the other hand-held radios in the net lacked.

tough, mine are used on a highrise construction site and are working fine.
