Pros: work really well, clear sounds, great distance communication Cons: NONE
"I work in a medical facility where radios are needed and let me tell you we have had some static radios , some I can't hear you radios ! Very light in weight . These are by far the clearest radios I have ever heard and I recommend them to everyone. We also are into old cars and bought another set as to talk with cars in front or behind us.. THEY ARE GREAT"

Pros: Strong, Clear, Private Signal; Tough Little Radio Cons: Buttons Easy to Hit
"I tested these radios under varying conditions -- first in a 450,000 sq. ft. postal facility and then at a local medieval fair, where I am the Director of Operations.
The analog walkie-talkies normally used in our postal facility require a repeater to talk from one end of the building to the other. I wanted to see how well the digital would work in our facility (pure curiosity). My boss kept one in his office at the front of the building and I took the other out to our back docks. The TriSquare radios accomplished a clear signal through three cinder block walls and numerous large mail processing machines, giving an excellent signal where the analog radios wouldn't have given an understandable signal at all. It was quite acceptable.
At the medieval fair, I used a pair of these radios for my own private communication with one of my direct reports, augmenting the fifteen analog radios the owner had rented for the team. I found the TriSquare's Call button to be a tremendous help, as I was often carrying on three conversations at a time (two radios and one in-person). The TriSquare worked like a Nextel, allowing me to finish one conversation before starting another.
I used the belt clip which came with the radio, while the other person used a small pouch-style bag. It held up with no problems.
I dropped my radio several times (I was continually setting it down and juggling radios and a cell phone). It never even hiccuped despite several drops.
The battery lasted two solid days at the festival, never giving any sign of running out. As an aside, I was using two radios, so it wasn't utilized for ALL of my communications. IMHO it would have done quite well with a combination of rechargables and battery packs to take the entire fair staff to this hand-set.
I did discover one issue: I found myself occasionally hitting the buttons accidentally, which were slightly over-large. This wasn't critical, though I hit the Call button on occasion. A suggestion for future upgrades: Place a touch-dot on the Call button so it can be found by touch without looking down at the radio?
I will be using these radios later this year for my team for a convention in Ohio -- gradually picking up more radios as I can afford them. They are turning out to be a nice addition to the work I do. I'm very satisfied with them."
Great Radios

By Ashpeeperfrom Pleasant Prairie, WI
Pros: Interference Free Communications, along with Private and Secure
"I work closely with the maintenance department in a 550,000 sq.ft. facility. There are several production lines and as many mechanices, the TriSquare two-ways were purchased to enhance communications between mechanics, leads and supervisors that a regular walkie talkies couldn't provide. The many features of the two-way were a plus as well, primarily the interference free, privacy and range to name a few. These radios work great for our needs."
Nifty radios

By Yamamotofrom New Boston, TX
"These are nifty little radios.
In thick woods with gradual sloping hills/dirt roads, I got about a quarter mile of clear communications between the two radios. Not bad for 900 Mhz--worked a bit better than I expected.
In open farm land, I got a little less that two miles out of them. Again, better than I expected.
All in all, these are really nifty. Like a poor man's (me)version of a Motorola DTR550. Can't beat the price."
