5.0 out of 5 stars Great Radio, April 23, 2001

By	"bugsyb" (Queens, NY) - See all my reviews

i purchased two last week and used it for the 1st time this weekend. i tell ya, this is one heck of a radio. i split up with my wife at the mall and we were able to contact each other all day long with no static. at opposite extreme points of the mall we were about .5 miles away from each other and the radio performed flawlessly. between our calls we were able to listen to the built in FM radio via the supplied earphones. very good reception too. on the way home we tested the radio's range. at 1 mile reception was clear with a litle static. at 1.5 miles there was more static but it was good enough to communicate. at 2 miles a lot more static but stll decent clarity. not bad for a busy location with lots of 4-6 story buildings between us. buy it, you won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best " pair of radios" I bought !, July 14, 2001

By	Adrian (Waipahu, Hawaii USA) - See all my reviews

I just bought them yesterday,a and it worked great. When I tried it around our house this afternoon, it worked flawlessly. I can hear my partner very clearly. The FM radio is a great feature, so is the fold-down antenne. The only cons I have with this radio is the volume for the FM radio. When I used the included earphones, it was too loud, and when I listened to the radio again, using my own headphones, that I had for a long time, I can only hear the sound from the left side of the headphones. I didn't do that much research on this product, but it was the first time I got a good deal with our a lot of research.
