    • Despite the battery issue, I've owned several different FRS/GMRS radios, and think these are the best.
    • The second day we started having weird battery issues
    • There is a hardware problem as well as battery issues that can only be resolved by removing the battery and putting it back in and restarting.

    • At first I thought it was the battery issue, then i figured it was the radio
    • I would check out others ratings to see if mine might be a lemon or was having battery issues.
    • I did have a battery issue, one of them would not charge
    • That's a 50% failure rate!It's not a battery issue
    • Highly recommend A++++++
    • It's not as flexible or soft as you'd hope considering not all ears are created equal
    • Radios worked as or better than expected
    • a waysI don't know about the 36 miles range, but they sure work well at 3-4 miles range in the woods, as well as in a big concrete and steel building in a metropolitan area.
    • They helped to facilitate intermittent conversation between my wife and I as we travelled across the great expanses that makeup our great country.
    • I use our radios at our cabin in the mountains as well as on job sites.
    • but these are not to bad as we have gotten use to then
    • They won't work nearly as well as much more expensive HAM hand held radios but they generally allowed communication when we tried.
    • We have 2 with extra batteries, highly recommended as they work great for what they were designed to do.
