Better range than my older XV1100 (1 W) by a marginal amount, it isn't so much going farther, but stronger signals within the same range

These have good range

So I have changed my review from 1 star to 5 star because the uhf with a 16.2" Nagoya antenna has awesome range!

Range is really good without whip antenna

other than that this is a excellent product..easy to use..good range.

Long range clarity that you can count on

Good range with the stock antenna, excellent range with the optional

Have good range with it and programming was easier than I was led to believe

Decent range in town.

Good radio, same as the 5w but better range

Better power, range, functionality, price

It does not have great range and the MHz is very limited

Worked pretty well did not get the range I should have using two radios one 8watts and this one

Good range when using with other two way radios and good battery life especially when using it as a scanner

Great radio but be sure to get the extra Nagoya antenna for better range.

Range is a little short but for $30 I can’t complain.

Wide receive range and dual band operation make them great for outings or field day operations.

I live in NYC and the range I get on this radio is better than any handheld radio Ive ever used before.

My husband uses them at work and gets great range and is clearly able to understand the person on the other end and be understood himself.

Again, all of my radios hit all of my local repeaters and get good range radio to radio (simplex).Overall - I'd highly recommend this radio, especially if you are starting out in Ham Radio

Worked well, good range and quite loud.

It transmits and receives fine in the 2 meter band but the range is limited only to that band.

You can use this radio with repeaters for almost unlimited range

Impressive range and audio quality, even with the little antenna it comes with.

As I mentioned, the range seemed pretty good, at least on par with anything else in the building now

I will be purchasing a different antennae to improve range

great product long range

great batt life, range and solid build.

Using repeaters, the range is only limited by the repeater

Compared to a pair of bubble-pack motorola talkabout radios I picked up for $47, the range and signal quality was much worse

Remarkably good quality, extremely sturdy with great range and very easy to use (although I recommend the computer set up as the manual is difficult to understand in spots)!!

Wonderful range and best price

Great size, easy to carry, has good range for a 5 watt so long as trees and mountains are not in the way, good clarity .

After having done a self-issued range test and concluding it has approximately a quarter mile range and retains perfect clarity up til the quarter mile range limit when it becomes scratchy and breaks up sentences

Has great range, within buildings, and between separate buildings on out site.

You may want to get a Nagoya 1/4 wave whip antenna for much better range

Radio has good range (I bought the aftermarket antenna).

Works as it should.

and it dies completely within 3 weeks and will not power up or make a peep no matter what I do - swapped batteries from my other radios, tried different chargers, cleaned contacts, you name it I tried it and still dead as a

works as it should and no issues, love the flashlight and built in radio, good audio as well.

Recommend additional silicone case as it has saved mine from a couple low level drops that would normally have killed it

I use it for general communications on 2M and 70cm as well as for activities with my local CERT organization.
