Cons:
Effective Distance
Volume
Non-functional battery new in the box
I expect exaggerated claims by marketing people, but the 36 mile claim should be 3.6 miles on flat ground with no obstructions. If you're lucky. Car to car communication between OK and CA at varying distances, varying road height (including flat straight line of sight), and small town to large city obstructions provided opportunities for experimenting. The best distance with full charged batteries, the power set to high, and using the recommended channels for the best distance, the best we could get out of them was 3.5 miles. In an urban environment this dropped to 100 yards in some spots. In a suburban residential area the best we could get was a mile. Most of the time 1/2 mile was the standard. We have the DC charger in addition to the AC chargers, so kept them charged to max.
The other big disappointment was volume. Anything less than full volume (without the earpiece) was no volume. It might as well been an on/off switch. Using the headphones this improved a little, but not enough to be much better than an on/off switch. This was inside a car with the windows up and no music playing. If parked, it got a little better but any road noise from passing vehicles easily overwhelmed the capabilities of their volume.
I bought two sets of two. One of the batteries arrived DOA, new in the box. Not covered by the "warranty".
Both of these issues have been significant enough to warrant the time to write this as a warning for others.
All the positive reviews here was what swayed the decision to buy them. Someone somewhere obviously has been happy with them. But the range and volume limitations we have experienced are at the least false advertising and for us make them of very limited value.
On the upside, they work better than the toy walkie talkies I had as a kid 50 years ago.



It works fine for what i need it for, for under 2 miles on installing equipment in buildings and not having to use a cell all the time.


We use the hands free option so no need to push any buttons, just talk.



I not only purchased it for myself, but my community has purcased many of them to be used in emergencies.
If you care about emergency preparedness, then you need this radio.




We use them when we go on cruises, vacations, boating, etc.
We have 2 sets of these! LOVE THEM!
