I bought the same model CXT 450 which the only difference being sold by another store. This radio does what I wanted it for,just communication around my property. My cell phone has some dead areas around on my property. This has so far surpassed my expectations. However do not expect 22 mile distance out of it unless you are on top of a mountain talking to someone on top of another mountain with no obstacles in between. I barely get a mile in heavy Forest. One thing that I was unaware of when I bought it was the weather channels on this unit. They are very clear and an extra benefit to the radio if you are in the outdoors. So i think it has been a very good purchase. I might add this unit is less expensive at Amazon than where I purchased it.

I really like this 2 way radio. I give one hand set to my 9 year old son when he goes out to play. I always know where he is because he likes to "check in".

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the better radios, June 10, 2010

I've owned several of these types of radios, and haven't been happy with any of them. This is one of the better ones for my purposes, carrying it in a backpack or pocket. For one thing, the rotating knob on top for on/off makes it unlikely to turn on by accident, unlike those where on is an easily-pressed pushbutton. Also, when you lock the buttons on other radios, the volume up/down function still works, and if it's a pushbutton the volume can change randomly. On this, the volume is a knob which is unlikely to turn by accident.

Best of all it has a better range than any of the others in its class that I've tried. Nowhere near the advertised range of course, but it has reached over 1/2 mile for me in pretty dense woods, over a little hill, and through a building.

Audio quality is excellent.

I really like the fact that I can recharge them (albeit one at a time) without bringing along the bulky recharger base.

The only negative is that it's a bit bigger and heavier than the others. I wish such a radio could be more compact.
