So far so good. Haven't been able to test them in the field yet. But with wife in the house I got in the car and drove for about a mile up the road. Trees all around. Didn't start to fade till I hit a mile. I expect it will do better in the field since we will be outside.
I haven't had a chance to use these extensively yet but very pleased so far. The FRS/GRMS flexibility id great and allows use of full power up to allowed limits. These have all of the features I need plus extras. I also ordered a base radio so we could keep track of our grandkids while camping.
had the radios about a year now. they work very well. only problem is you need extra batteries for a long day out. the rechargeable batteries that come with it will only last 4 hours or so. we use them at the campground for when the kids go out to run around. we've had them work in the neighborhood for 2 miles. and have never been out of range on vacation or in the campgrounds. they work best when cell phone signal is limited as a backup to get a hold of each other.
I bought a set of these radios 3 or 4 years ago. My hunting partner and I were so impressed with their range and clarity that he purchased another set and now we outfit our entire hunting party. They have been extremely effective in the mountains of Vermont and have saved us numerous trips when something caused us to need to contact other hunting party members.
