Pros: Sleek design, clear transmissions, button lock feature, weather resistant.
Cons: Limited range, cheesy belt clip holder
We bought these radios to take with us on vacation. They work fine if you are outside and have a decent line of sight. They worked great at the beach, but even there, the range was nowhere near two miles. The best range we ever got was just a little less than one mile. Expect very limited range if one radio is indoors and the other is outdoors.
If you plan to use them at Disneyland or Sea World, forget it. There was so much radio traffic that there was virtually no way to hear the other person. We tried all the channels and all were jammed packed.
These are great walkie-talkies for the kids, way better than what we had in the 60's and 70's. For short range communications they are a pretty good deal. If you want to keep in contact with someone who is two miles away, I recommend you look elsewhere.
