Great 2-way radio

(4 out of 5) by Bens Luscious Hog on Jul 31, 2008 (NY)
This is a quality 2-way radio. 20 miles is a little ridiculous, but the range is very good. In real world conditions (buildings, trees, etc.), the range is approximatley 2 miles. Any standard 2-way radios will get no more than a 2-mile range. This is the only reason I didn't rate these 5 stars.

The sound quality is excellent, the privacy codes are a nice feature and the size is perfect.

I highly recomment this product.

Very good quality, difficult control

(4 out of 5) by Terry J. Trainor on Apr 12, 2008 (West Central Tennessee)
I am very well pleased with these, but I would have appreciated a more prominant notification that HIGH power and most channels require an FCC license, which cost me $80!
Also, the control could be better. Switching from standby to weather radio, for instance, requires repeated pushing of the 'mode' button.
The power is good, but apparently is line-of-site, as I could not reach home today from two miles away with intervening hills.
But they will work for what we intend with them -

Awesome 2-way

(4 out of 5) by J. P. Sarmiento on Feb 11, 2008 (San Diego, CA)
Battery lasts much longer than my old audiovox radio. The only negative I've experienced so far is you need to really press hard on the keys/buttons, other than that this is an awesome 2-way radio.

These radios worked as advertised. Very clear. A great way to keep in touch with your kids.
