We bought two of these mainly for our RV. I was always concerned about backing our motorhome and loosing sight of each other, or walking the dog in a campground after dark. These are great for us to keep in touch with each other all the time, but especially after dark. We use them for bicycling and hiking, our models have the built in AM & FM radio's which eliminates carrying additional items. Handy for just taking to the beach, lake or wherever. They are very clear, easy to operate, lightweight and simple to program. We have not totally tasked the range yet, but it has been sufficient for us. Anyone who is into camping needs the added comfort and security of these units, especially if they have children. Also have found them very handy at the Mall with our Grandkids, not only for their location but security, and they love using them. We shopped every brand and style, but found these Cobra's were the best buy for the buck, especially thru Amazon.

I bought one of these mainly because of the built in radio to use at the gym and it of course also doubles as an frs radio. Only drawback is the lack of ctss codes and the roger beep cannot be turned off. Does have a call button. If these aren't a problem and you want a dual purpose radio, these are fine.

Used it up in the mountains (washakie wilderness) with lots of trees to interfer however that was not a problem, it had better then a two mile range, Once I was in the creek bottom and was able to talk to the others at camp a good 3 miles a way and the camp was surrounded by trees

I have used both Motorolla and VTEC. And the COBORA had the worst range of all brands. Very staticy at even 100 yards.
