I purchased them to keep in contact with another couple while we were at Disney World on vacation. They had almost no range at all and in fact, only worked when we were in sight of each other already, even with brand new batteries. I will be returning them and hopefully replacing them with a more suitable product.

I finally convinced myself that I had a good reason to purchase the FRS radios I had been longing for...

The reason was a family trip to Disney World. My wife, unconvinced, humored me nonetheless. They immediately came in handy in our first ten minutes at the Magic Kingdom, however, as I ran off to get a FastPass to a ride while my wife and daughter stood in line for another ride.

The audio quality was pretty decent, although at maximum volume I could barely hear my wife over the Disney din. I also was very impressed with the vibrate call notification, but it did not seem to always work. Occasionally, I would push the call button over and over, but not get a response until I pushed the PTT button and shouted "Are you there?"

The backlighting feature is nice, and the radios have the standard 14 channels and 38 subcodes. We also found the carabiner clips very handy for clipping to belt loops and backpack straps.

There are a few accessories available -- including a VOX mic/headset (nope, a standard phone headset won't work) and different colored battery covers (the blue thing that wraps partially around the front).

At this price, I would definitely recommend the pair.

This product was substandard. In tests the radios were unable to transmit voices, they transmitted so much static you could not hear the other person from 200 ft away. Tried new batteries and still received too much static to hear the other person. Static did not occur on every transmission but did occur in 80% of the trials. We purchased a set of Motorola Talkabouts and have been pleased with their performance.
