When my family and I went on vacation to Disney World, we carried around the Panasonic KX-TR320 FRS 2-Way Radio. Not only did it look cool, with the Cobalt Blue accent, but the KX-TR320 has rubber plugs, making it water proof...this was very important since my Dad carried it on Splash Mountain, and it kinda got a little wet. My Dad dropped it a few times too at Disney World, making my Mom freak out, but it could take a licking and keep on ticking. The only problem was the tiny buttons, I remember I was trying to use it outside of Body Wars in EPCOT, and I accidently hit the wrong button a few times. It did have great sound quality and range. I would reccomend picking one up for your vacations.

These are great!! I use them to keep in touch with my 10 year old son when he goes off with his friends to the burger joint or grocery store. The range is phenominal. He can be just about anywhere and I can get in touch with him. The voice activated mode is great! The privacy channels help to keep the interference down, as I have found that these types of radios are very common. Unfortunately, I paid more for them elsewhere, wish I had gotten them here at Amazon.com. A hint to all you other mom's out there, if you give these to your children as a gift, they'll love them and won't realize that it's more of a convienence for you than it is a toy for them! Next time they run out without first cleaning their room you can call them right back with out leaving the kitchen!

I own both 320 and 325S. I've also tried Motorola FR-60, T289; Cobra FRS-220, PR-1000, PR-900(the latter two are GMRS radios). The Panasonic's are the ones I say "What?" the least in use.

It's not very loud(but also not much distortion), got a tiny PTT button, CTCSS has to be set to zero if you want to scan all activities on the channels, and you have to keep holding down the Monitor button to break the squelch. All minor annoyances.

It's been one year since I bought my first pair of 320. Flip-down mic/ear speaker used to be a reason I bought these, but I never had the need to use them. Vibration alert is nice for really loud places like Disneyland. But when it's too noisy for the ringer, it's also near impossible to hear transmission.

Solid construction except the antenna seems won't last as long as the rest of the unit. Like other people mentioned, I had this dropped to concrete floor from waist level (the belt clip slipped), and it showed no ill effect at all.

With best clarity from all that I've tried, and $20 after rebate, this is a keeper.

I have 2 Motorola FS-Radio's and bought these Panasonic Radio's too, I prefer using the Panasonic's. They have a better range, are more compact and look cooler. The available car cord is handy too, eliminates use of batteries while driving.

All my friends have Motorola radios, but when it came time for me to buy a couple, I looked for the radios with the best features...and the Panasonic fit the bill. I love the cool look, and I particularly like the feature that allows you to talk into the radio like a cell phone. Sometimes you don't want everyone around you to know what is being said, and with this feature, you have some privacy without having to buy a earpiece/mic. They also have more protection against drops and splashes then my friends radios, which come in handy while skiing. I highly recommend this product.

Compared to Motorolla and Cobra brands before purchasing the Panasonic model. Not only was it a better price but also a better quality, durability, and functionality. It once slipped out of my shirt pocket and summersaulted few times after bouncing off a concrete floor but no damage because of its durable casing. I initally bought two units [but later] I also ordered [a]third [unit]. Love its private talk feature. My wife and I stay in touch in a mall using it like a cell phone. Glad that I chose the Panasonic model over others!

these frs radios work as they are described, rugged, excellent features ,not to mention they are the coolest looking radios out there. if you are going to purchase frs radios this year buy this model they wont last long at this price.

I'd been researching and shopping for a pair of the FRS radios for the better part of the past six months. When I saw the price of these Panasonics after the rebate, I had to pull the trigger on the purchase. We have a Panasonic wireless telephone that we're very happy with--it seems they make a good quality product.

Just about the only complaint I can make is that the volume doesn't get loud enough if you are in a noisy/crowded environment. However, this is easily overcome by either using the private call feature (awesome!) or simply putting the unit closer to your ear.

We've only had them about three weeks, but my wife and I couldn't be happier...well, we'll be happier when the rebate checks arrive!

Excellent radio, much better than Motorola. Easy to use and very good reception. With the rebate it's a real bargain too. Go buy a pair today, you won't be disappointed!

:^)

The quality build in these units is incredible.

I owned some Audivox units before, which were just okay, and I had to return them. The Panasonic units have a very solid feel, are rubberized, and have splash resistance. The fold-down antenna gives you a compact pocketable package.

The range and clarity tested better than the Audiovox units. I ordered one of each color to use for family vacations and kid tracking in the neighborhood.

Highly recommended, especially with the rebate.
