Read More Very disappointed in the performance. Tested the radios in different environments to determine limitations before beginning a long canoe trip in Minnesota. From the 1st day out, 1 of the radios did receive or transmit, even 30 ft. away. REI took radios back w/ no questions. -

Read More These are definitely good quality radios! However I want to be a pure survivalist, so I want to be able to charge these out in the wild. The problem is that they use a smaller charging jack than usual so I can't charge it with my solar panel or power battery. -

Read More Probably one of the best GMRS radios as of the time of this writing. Both have gotten wet while in use (one fell off the clip while getting in/out of a boat and floated, and the other while beaching the boat to shore, had to jump into the water) and remained functional with nothing more than several shakes to get water out of the microphone/speaker areas. I prefer items that use AA batteries versus AAA batteries, and many of the GMRS radios use AAA, so this one is appreciated. This is so I only need to carry AA spares when out and about. Also the mah capacity of AA batteries (typically 2000-2700mah) is much greater than that of AAA (typical 700-900mah). I do NOT like the fact that it uses 3 AA batteries, would have preferred sets of 4. That may have given it one more star. Also this kit includes a desktop drop in charger. This is a dumb trickle charger and not a smart charger, so don't leave the radios sitting in there more than 12 hours or so or you may cook the rechargeable batteries and shorten their capacity and life. The capacity of the included rechargeable battery packs is a bit low in capacity/mah, and the low battery alarm shows occasionally. Also had the devices shut off occasionally, but believe that was due to the battery packs not having been through several cycles yet. Best clips, though flimsy, are good to have. The quick disconnect feature (i.e. press down on the button on the top of the clip and radio pops forwards) is convenient. I prefer this to the fixed clips on certain radios, where you have to play with the radio to get it off the belt. Also easier to get it back on the belt, as it just snaps on, no need to spread the clip and loop onto belt. -

Read More The radios are good. Have not had an issue with them at all. But in less than 2 months, the belt loop clips on both radios broke with moderate hiking use. When I called Motorola, they said that they could send out a One Time Free set of clips. I was a bit upset that it was going to be One Time only, so hopefully nothing else will fail on their units. -

Read More I have used many radios in the past, but this one is the best so far. It is a bit bigger but for that you get a lot of ruggedness and the buttons are super easy to use. I use the radios a lot around the water and with these I don't have to worry if they fall in. Our last camping trip we got hosed and the radios helped get everyone back to base soon without worrying about the radios not functioning. The flashlight turned out to be very useful at night for bathroom breaks.
Read More Really like the radios and the performance. Two transmit power capabilities on GMRS channels is great. No problems in the mountains of Colorado. BUT, be prepared to go to Motorola's website to download instructions - the pair I bought came with instructions with black spaces where there should have been symbols for the keys on the radio. Unless you like the guessing game they were almost useless.
