By purchacing these radios, I saved a ton of money since I did not have to buy or rent good high quality scanners for my two boys. They were clear and loud enough since we used ear buds instead of the supplied headphones since the races are extreamly loud and that worked great. All in all if you do not go to the races much and do not want to invest in a high dollar scanner, this is the way to go.

Overall, this is an mediocre scanner. Functionally, it is a bit clumsy and not the easiest to figure out how to use various functions. I primarily use these to listen to drivers during NASCAR races. Unfortunately, the volume control is not great and they pick up quite a bit of static; making it hard to hear what the drivers are talking about. The headphones that come with these are terrible; just some cheap foam covered headphones. I figured I could plug in my own, high quality, headphones but that was not the case. If you do not use the cheap ones that came with the scanner, the scanner will cease to function (literally the buttons will not respond).

On the bright side, the desk charger is nice. Having rechargeable batteries ensures that you will have ample power. I haven't ever had an issue with them running out of power. It is also a plus that they come as a set so you don't have to use a splitter and share with someone else.

If given the opportunity to purchase these again, I would probably spend a bit more money and get a higher quality product.

I attend a few NASCAR races a year and scanner rentals can get expensive. I purchased these and they did the job. I did buy separate earbuds and noise canceling headphones for better sound quality.

i went to martinsville the shortest track and could not get a signal clearly an the talkies have less then a 3 mile range not 15 spend the extra for a real scanner

use these in car during dirt racing season to receive radio instructions from track. works great. only issue is that they are very loud with a headphone unless you get an adjustable volume set of ear pieces...highly recommmended

The set I received, neither unit would receive transmissions from the other on any channel. Called Audiovox who told me to return them.
