"Please pull up to the next window."

(1 out of 5) by R. Jackson on Apr 11, 2008 (Los Angeles)
Bought these for a cruiseship. Tested them out at home. Had real trouble communicating. We couldn't make out what each other was saying. Never got to test range so cant make a judgment on that.

I did, however, have a good laugh trying to get my wife to understand me saying " You want fries with that?". Now I really feel for the people working at drive-though windows. Although they sound a LOT clearer than these units.

Makes it double hilarious that I bought them at "Fry's".

OMW back to return them now.

Good on distances less than 4 miles inside Town.

(4 out of 5) by Paulo S. C. Souza on Dec 11, 2007
On big cities the range does not reach more than 2 miles, I had bad experience with this. They tested this radios on the Sea, at the Sea's level and no problems to blocking the signal, so them can reach 20 miles. On the big cities with all cellphones, antennas and other stuff, is hard to get good reception and good talking over 2miles distances.
On the farm I could reach 3 to 4 miles, more that this We can not talk, still good for the prices.
Good item for big factories, Malls, big parking lots and other places that require less than 5 miles inside a Town.

Beware - made in Hong Kong!

(1 out of 5) by Militaryaid on Oct 8, 2007 (Las Vegas)
I am filming the pilot for a reality show which entails the use of two way radios and upon advice from my producer I purchased two sets totaling four units. Two of them were dead on arrival and the others barely work. From prior experience we both thought we would be getting quality American made product but what we got is poorly made Chinese junk. Not only is the product cheesy but customer service at Cobra is extremely hostile. You can't get a straight answer and you can't get a refund.
