    • My husband and I used them while I ran to the store and they worked really good, the signal was clear.
    • I can only go 500 feet and the signal gets static
    • Perfect recption, strong signal
    • I began to lose signal about 1/4 mile away and barley had anything at 1/2 mile.
    • Even with a clear line of sight the signal is very weak.
    • They have a clear and strong signal under reasonable conditions for ANY radio
    • These radios are the best, very light weight, excellent signal and a very long battery life even in high signal mode
    • We did lose signals at a very crucial time when we got separated and there was no cell phone service.
    • Very poor signal, purchased for a vacation and wasn't able to use them unless we were within about 50 feet of each other.
    • The signal also comes in really clear and works up to 3 miles in a vehicle.
    • We had some difficulty receiving signal at the bottom of a valley, while the other person was 3 miles away on the other side of a mountain
    • I made 0.5 miles with the Motorola before the signal started to break up
    • It IS broadcasting something because it gives out a very unusual feedback signal on my computer speakers but not the same feedback as every other radio we have
    • I made it 1.5 miles with the Midland and the signal was still loud and clear with no interference
    • Working on a cattle ranch where is poor cell phone signals they make communicating easy.
    • 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.
