There should be some kind of regulation that limits the claims these manufacturers are allowed to make..

works as claimed.

So no five stars due to the outrageous claim

Having owned and used these radios and others of their type, to make the unqualified claim that they have a 36 mile range is bogus, Even under ideal conditions i.e. one mountain top to another you would be lucky to get a third of the stated range.

GXT claimed 36 miles range and MR350 claimed 35 miles--both claims are meaningless since nobody would ever achieve the advertised range unless standing on two mountain peaks with perfect conditions.

Distance of course not nearly as good as claimed

Such, bogus claims about an otherwise good product make me crazy as you can see.

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.
