What's great about it: Range, large buttons, flashlight
What's not so great: battery life could be better, no voice activation w/o attachment
I paid ~$52 through BB online. For the price they are hard to beat. They feel durable, they have decent range, and the battery life, though shorter than I was hoping for, was about 5 times that of my old Uniden set that I considered worthless. I bought this one set to see how I liked them. I will probably both another set (or 2) since I have 5 kids. I tried them out on a Scout camporee with my boys and the range in a pretty wooded hilly area was good and the bottom light was far more useful than I expected.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: features, useability, range, LED emergency light
What's not so great: battery life is standard
When reading reviews on radios its important to not get get caught up in the details. I live in the real world and these work great. I use them for hiking and mountain climbing. The range, features, and useability are very good.
To anyone reading this review remember do research and understand the product your buying. This is not a police radio. Its just a radio and it does that very very well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: they work ok i can hear people on them most of the time. some times it dose not pick up wright away.
What's not so great: dose not pick up wright away some times audio not to clear, range is really limit, one of the charger bay stop working.
i bout this because it was the only ones they had in store but they are not so great. just bout the Uniden - 28-Mile Model: GMR2872-2CK and they work great. i suggest that you buy those. best buys has the best price.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Works well, good range
What's not so great: Confusing buttons, NOT WATER RESISTANT!!
Best Buy says they're water resistant... but they're definitely NOT WATER RESISTANT!! Splash a little rain on these puppies and they will promptly die until you take them apart and dry them out... In fact, the insert provided by Motorola explicitly says the warranty does not cover such "abuse & misuse" as "contact with liquid, water, rain, extreme humidity or heavy perspiration" There are no rubber seals around anything on this radio, there's nothing water resistant in the slightest about this radio design! Don't buy this radio if you want to use it in weather, water sports, etc...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Easy to use and setup
What's not so great: User's Guide and Setup information could be written a little better for novice use in mind
Easy to set up (not my first 2Way) My choice for Tea Party events. Battery lasted all day in scan mode with moderate two way traffic.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Long battery life, flashlight, emergency button.
What's not so great: Belt clip bulges a little too much
I got these two way radios for a couple purposes, I keep it scanning incase a person needs help, I also like to take them on hikes and bike trips when im by myself incase I get in a bad situation and theres no cell phone reception which is very common in alot of the wooded areas around my state parks. Its extremely clear when talking to everyone and with all the channel combinations theres no way you can't have a private conversation with your group.
I would recommend this to a friend!
