frs two-way radios

...The FRS310-series radios themselves, they seem to be good quality for the simple toys they are. Reception is clear to a range of about six blocks when talking between car and wood-frame building. The claimed two mile range might be possible, over flat remote terrain, at night, in a period of low sunspot activity, but I doubt it. The preset squelch level is adequate for use in urban areas. Scanning works efficiently, and channels may be locked. Displays are NOT back-lit as claimed by the manufacturer, but side-lit LCD and therefore less legible than the back-lit type in low light. A nice feature rarely found in low-cost rechargeable devices of any kind (until recently) is a simple yet well-designed charging circuit that makes it difficult to damage the NiCd batteries by carelessly overcharging ("cooking") them. The radios also will work while they are being charged, a sometimes useful feature evidently not found in some other designs.

I purchased two of these radios and I did transmit/rec. the 2-mile range with no problem.Purchased two GMRS and will advise on these later(had to get a license)

We purchased a large quantity of these radios to use in conjunction with our business. The radios work well, but have a failure rate that seems a little high (appx. 10%) - but the company was very good honoring the warranty - they immediatley replaced our defective radios with new ones.
