The radios are ok...as radios. I've yet to really put them to the test. I think some folks may be confusing these with actual communications devices given the other thread. My review is in the link aove. Could improve, but overall very serviceable for my purpose. They went into bugout bags ad one as a tester for work (where I've yet to get any radio!). A friend also bought more and I bought a couple more to give to family.

I had been eyeing these for a while. I got them on sale. Even with the points in my review, I'd do it again.
