radio are awesome does what I have to have them for.

Same problem there... does not seem to recognize a 6 volt charger, but will happily accept the 9.5 volt charger.

Battery starts to go bad and so does some of the features.

does not work well in wooded areas

As of June 20, one radio stopped working again, does not even turn on.

then one does not work at all

Of course it does not work no where near 36 miles

First off, the ear peace blows...does not fit well...and even worse if I was not wearing a helmet, this ear piece would just wabble around with no way of securring it.

For some reason this set does not like to transmit even when standing 5' apart

Used while riding ATVs and its not as clear as I would like and VOX does pick up the ATV noise even on the lowest sensitivity setting

Other than the cheap-o earpiece and mic attachment - these little babies pack a punch, feel excellent in the hand, great sound, long battery life with rechargeable batt-pack, multi-function, FRS/GMRS with incredible range in urban setting.
