i knew when i bought this product that i was not going to get 18 miles because i was only going to use the frs channels (the free ones) and i was also going to use it in the city but i didn't need
from www.amazon.com
it is getting harder to find frs radios with sub-codes for a reasonable price, so these radios are a good value for your money.

Midland 42CH MSSY OAK GMRS

$71.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i rated this device 4stars because i've used other frs radios in the past and didnt make it 1/8mi away.
from www.amazon.com
they're mere copies of some of the first 22 channels that are standard on most frs/gmrs 2-way radios in the first place!
from www.amazon.com
however, like most dedicated gmrs/frs radios, these units are just one step above children's toys.
from www.amazon.com
these are the best frs/gmrs radios i've ever owned!

Midland GXT-900VP4

$63.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i purchased this set because it had the longest advertised range of any frs/gmrs set.
from www.amazon.com
the gxt900-vp4 frs/gmrs radios.
from www.amazon.com
speaker and receiver provide very clear reception even in adverse conditions where other gmrs/frs radios are used within close proximity.
from www.amazon.com
bought two pairs of these after failing miserably with the weak frs frequency radios for skiing trips to mammoth mountain.

EA Sports TSX100-2VP 1000 Channels

$46.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
these units perform far better than family radio service (frs).
from www.amazon.com
the advantage (maybe the only one) over frs radios in the same price range is that you never get interference from other users on "your" channel 'cause you got 999 channels to pick from.
from www.amazon.com
murs, frs, gmrs or ham radios are under 3 feet away.
from www.amazon.com
the 900 mhz frequency range is, as one would expect, somewhat more linear and subject to line-of-sight limitations than the 460 mhz frs radios.

Motorola Gmrs/frs

$65.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i needed more coverage than the typical frs radios provide.
from www.amazon.com
i digress, but overall, after reading all the reviews of the prior motorola frs/gmrs online, i'm satisfied with the sx800r, especially the price...

Cobra LI-6700/2WXVP 22 Channels

$53.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
they are better than most frs/gmrs radios because:
from www.amazon.com
when you're on the exclusive frs channnels, the power level drops to about 0.5 watt.
from www.amazon.com
i find we have less communication problems with frs instead of gmrs (hope i got my acronyms right).

from www.amazon.com
compare to other 18 mile 2 pack gmrs/frs radios this bargain price here is best!
from www.amazon.com
con: they are a little large, i don't know why the antenna is so long on these radios when it's shorter on others, in this band (gmrs/frs 460 mhz) all antennas on all radios should be the same length.

i recently purchased the cobra li 6500-2 wx vp 20-mile gmrs/frs 2-way radio and so far, i think it is a fantastic radio.
from www.amazon.com
the cobra li 6500-2 wx vp 20-mile gmrs/frs 2-way radios work great.
from www.amazon.com
when looking at frs/gmrs radios radios ignore the marketing ploys that tell you the range of the radios (12 miles, 18 miles, 22 miles).
from www.amazon.com
this radio works fine, but its range in the suburbs of chicago is just the same as any other average frs/gms radio - just under 1 mile.

from www.bestbuy.com
if you're operating on the frs (family radios service) channels, and there is alot of obstructions such as houses and buildings, the range is about 2 miles.
from www.amazon.com
it's a four star rating for the simple reason that i have not yet come across a hand held gmrs/frs radio that can cover even a third of the mileage they are rated for .
from www.amazon.com
i purchased my first cobra frs 3 mile radios around 9 years ago and still work perfectly.

Motorola SX600R 14 Channels

$44.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i just use the frs frequencies, but radio is crisp and clear in its transmission from in our house to approx 320 yards away in the back pasture.
from www.amazon.com
as an owner of many frs radios, including some commercial grade, i bought these with some apprehension having some not so great experiences with motorola.
from www.amazon.com
as a longtime ham radio, shortwave, and scanner enthusiast, i've owned many handheld transceiver radios over the years, including about 5 pairs of frs/gmrs radios.
from www.amazon.com
unless you pony up for an fcc license you can only use the low-power frs channels anyway, which are good for about 1/2 mile tops in the city.

Motorola Talkabout T5500 7 Channels

$52.00 Est. at Amazon

from trooper_cobb, www.shopping.com
if not, use inexpensive frs radios.
from www.amazon.com
radios marketed as "frs/gmrs" or "dual-service radios" are available from many manufacturers and many retail or discount stores.
from www.amazon.com
we use quite a few of the 5500 and 5400 series motorola frs radios.
from www.amazon.com
though these radios are "ok" (not the greatest), any users of gmrs or "hybrid" gmrs/frs radios are required to have an fcc license, which is $80 for 5 years.
from www.amazon.com
i bought these radio's as an upgrade to the cobra frs only that i had before.
