I picked up a pair of these earlier in year. They perform great. Lack of 38 privacy codes does not hurt performance a bit. Only when channels are completely full(ie..Auburn vs LSU football game) have they ever been needed. At this price they are superb value!!

Not a bad product, but the technical data claims this item has 38 sub codes, which it seems to not have. Kind of misleading on the technical description.

They just copied description of 8082 which has privacy codes. I just returned the radios after finding they have no privacy codes. There is much difference between with or without privacy codes.

Bought a pair of these 8 or 10 months ago. They work fine though mine had a rubber cap on the base that was so loose that it fell off the one my wife was using never again to be seen. Mine stays in the drawer at home now. It's nice to have but falls off. Lousy design and manufacture.

My wife has a problem using it as she doesn't remember NOT to push the buttons with her fingernail. When you do that the button sticks in and has to be hit several times to come out. She's stuck it in the call mode several times and until I've found her and fixed the button it'll continue to transmit forever, driving you nuts.

The UP and DOWN buttons will often jump a couple of channels at a time but for the price what do you expect???

Seems to have a good range and battery life. Thank goodness you can lock the unit so it can't have the channel changed or my wife would never figure it out. It's great when shopping and seems to have a fine range even inside buildings.

You have to figure out how far from your mouth to hold it and how loud to talk. Otherwise it'll overmodulate so badly that it'll be distorted and you can't understand what's being said.

I paid the same after a rebate as the price here and consider it a very good value. I'm buying a pair as a special gift for our grandson as a birthday present in May so he an a neighbor friend a couple of blocks away can use them.

I read a few reviews saything this was a good, inexpensive radio. Had it for a month and finally got a chase to use it. One of the receivers didn't work...and then did work. Now in the third month it's completely dead.
