    Motorola Talkabout Radio MH230R

    • I bought a pair of these several years ago, and I liked the fact that they were compact, and transmitted a respectable distance
    • Works well, has a good distance, about 3/4 a mile through the woods
    • The distance was also not nearly what it claimed to reach but the product worked for what we used it for.
    • Expected better distance.
    • Great size and the distance is good
    • Good distance for trail use and hunting
    • The furthest that I got from him was maybe about half a mile and these covered that distance just fine
    • realistic distance is 1/4 to 3/4 miles depending on terrain when using in desert canyon for truck-to-truck 4x4 communication.
    • Good long distance transmissions.
    • I tested it from opposite ends of campus (about a mile) and it still sounds fine, but I haven't tried any greater distances.
    • Haven't tested them at great distances.
    • Don't seem to have a great distance.
    • Good distance.
    • Reaches long distances, easy to use, and everyone has enjoyed using it.
    • The only disappointment is that the FCC and FTC continue to permit manufacturers to put absurdly ridiculous distance ranges on these radios in their marketing
    • The more powerful model seems to work better at much better distances.
    • it picks up from a decent distance for what we need
    • They reach great distances and are very durable!
    • So I removed a star for the inaccurate distance, but I still really enjoyed having these walkie talkies in the truck along the way.
    • stand great distance clarity nice selection of
    • I haven't used them at a great distance, but they have worked fine on small camping trips with Cub Scouts.
    • When they did work the distance for transmission seemed to be line of sight.
    • Have not used it at a great distance quite
    • Really clear signal for a good distance and a great size for kids
    • Returned because distance was horrible.
    • Work pretty good have not tried them long distance yet just a mile or so.
    • Staff love them - easy to use , setup and have a great distance
    • Good quality walkies with great distance
    • Well... I used these for a recent family trip and line of sight (car to car) performance is pretty good although I didn't really test at great distances (maybe a few miles while driving) while on vacation I can tell you if you're in a building or any kind of structure, unless the other radio is within a couple of miles from you you're not going to get it
    • We took them to the beach and could use them to communicate if we were within sight of one another, but not from any great distance and nothing near the range capacity.
    • Clear as can be at great distances throughout the house, backyard, and parks.
    • Great distance and clarity of signal.
    • distance is lousy.
    • Got it for our family camping trip and it worked just as far as it said it would.
    • Since they were not purchased with the intention of using them a a distance greater than a mile or two this is not a problem.
    • tech recommended resetting them, by pulling out the battery and letting them sit for over an hour... as silly as that was, it worked and the units haven't had an issues since!i've locked the buttons so my kids don't accidentally mess around with the units.
    • Not recommended as it was a complete waste of money from the start.
    • They hold charges for a couple hours, clip on clothes easily and work as far as we need them (a few blocks radius).
