MY SON-IN-LAW AND I BOTH BOUGHT THE SAME SETUP FOR GENERAL OR EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION. HE ONLY LIVES A FEW MILES AWAY, WITH BOTH OF US BEING INDOORS AT OUR HOUSES AND LOTS OF HOUSES AND TREES BETWEEN US, WE CAN STILL COMMUNICATE.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Missing a much needed feature
on August 16, 2021
Posted by: powemi
Bought these as many people do for outdoor activities. Have a GMRS radio in the vehicle wanted a portable version.
Long backpacking trips, hunting, day trips, boating etc....
Have held up to a lot of abuse on my end but also feel it lacks (what I would consider an essential feature after using)
Why can I not charge these without the basestation using a USB cord from a battery bank or solar panel?
It is a feature on the cheaper FRS models; honestly my fault for not looking for a feature that is on the cheaper models. But I was also not looking for FRS.

Every radio has a compromise. These are good.

I like this radio a lot. I have the following radios: t290, gxt1000, and the micro mobile 15watt. All connect to each other flawlessly. Exceptional clarity. I use these for property management operations in a small town. The gxt1000 have noticeably better performance. I can get good radio signal through urban environment and trees for about ~2 miles. With the T290’s I can only get good clarity for about 1 mile in urban setting with trees. Ive switch my entire crew to gxt1000 handhelds and installed the 15watt micromobile stations in the vehicles and loaders. I would recommend the t290 for off-roading, camping, recreational activities, short range communication. I would recommend the gxt1000 for more serious operations, 2 mile range in high obstruction, and maybe 5 miles unobstructed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello! Thank you for your review! You are correct, as with all two way radios, any obstruction between radios can decrease range but we are happy to hear you have found products that work best for you.

We have a group that rides in the mountains on ATV/UTV trails. These are great tools for keeping the lead and last driver communicating and keeping the groups on the same trails. AWESOME for getting the the group back together when separated.
