Ok, for the bad...I read a lot of reviews on these radios and most of them have been bad. Well, I wanted a replacement for my old set so I bought these. I was hunting standing about 100 yrds from my dad and we could not understand each other at all, we would have been better off yelling. It seemed like every other or every third word was missing making the radios useless. I thought to myself I should have listend to all the other reviews that I read. Just for the heck of it, I called Motorola's customer service number. He explained to me that some of these radios were made with faulty part, but there is no way of telling. Now for the GOOD, he took my name and address and said he was sorry for the inconvenience, and that anyone having this problem that calls, are getting a brand new set of replacement radios. Mine are now on there way, but they didn't want a credit card number or anything. So the radio itself may not be 100% right out of the box, but Motorola is stepping up and standing behind their product to make it right. I wish it had worked correctly when I bought them, but it is nice to see a company stand behind their product. Thanks Motorola!

I bought these radios to replace Model FV700R due to poor audio reception quality but guess what, they are just as bad if not worse. The reception cuts out and you find yourself needing to repeat messages over and over. I have a pair of FV200s which are only rated at 1 mile range and they have 10 times better audio quality than this more expensive model does. I do believe Motorola has a serious design flaw in their radios. I think their Quality program is deficent. Oh by the way I bought them from motorola store and paid $96.00 shipped, which a you can see I got screwed based on what they are selling for on Amazon, my mistake!
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!

This set is a big disappointment. It gets nowhere near the range that is touted, and when you're quite close to each other it sounds like a bad drive-through speaker. We bought it for a trip to the Virgin Islands thinking cell phone coverage might be a problem and it was both frustrating and worthless.
