High quality of transmission, true 2 miles range.

I bought them and immediately checked them in kayaking trip. No second of work after been submerged in water. Don't believe the manufacturer!

Bought a pair about a month ago. Took my wife and kids to our favorite water park in Orlando. As soon as my unit got wet, it stopped working. The display is not visible, the speaker does not work, the unit does not even turn on. It has not worked since (been about 10 days). The unit was submerged in 2 feet of water for about 30 seconds as we cruised the lazy river. Bottom line, they are not water resistant.

We purchased the Unwired Water Resistant 2 Way Radios for use on a camping trip....our kids have had a great time with them. They are sturdy and brightly colored; the 2-mile range is stretching it a bit, but the info provided with the radios even states that the 2 mile range is over an open field. Of course, buildings, trees etc. will diminsh the range. We had good reception as far as 3 city blocks. I've tested other, more ... brands that also report the 2 mile range and have had the same reception. Unless you are willing to pay ... for more sophisticated radios, these are nice walkie talkies and a good value. Battery usage is very conservative, too (25 hrs.). Water resistance is important, esp. with kids, and the radios weren't affected after being used at the beach.

... After using these on the slopes, in a warehouse, by the pool and between houses in the suburbs I now know that they are incredible. The radios are much more water proof than advertised. They really do have 2 mile range and more in some cases. (Peak of mountain to base). From my house to a friends house (about .8 miles)in the suburbs we can still talk without opening a window or being outside. Very durable. Only problem is to access the batteries you need a screwdriver. But i guess thats what you pay for having a completely submergible radio. Customer Support is also very good. I lost one of the battery cover covers (the black thing that slides on to the bottom) and I e-mailed the company. Within 3 days they sent me 2 replacements at no charge. Great Radios. Buy them!

One of my 2 radio's only works occasionally. But when it works, it works well. I bought these because they were much cheaper than the Motorola ones, so I guess you get what you pay for.

That was the range of those radios.
