outstanding
This CB radio has an outstanding performance, but beware of the low volume on the internal speaker, just as an advice you should also buy an extension speaker, there are a lot of low priced Midland extensions on amazon

Great little radio for the price...
this cb radio is a great buy...I installed mine in my semi..and it works great...the radio is the same as the cobra 19..so i asssume whoever makes the midland also makes cobra radios..It has excellent reception...and i like the added feature of the noise suppressor..I am in truck stops and no where, have i found that you can purchase this radio for $26...Now all my friends want to buy this radio,while its on sale...I received it in about a week from amazon...it is replacing my cobra radio which i had for about 15 years... hey i say buy, buy, buy...You won't regret it....

Outstanding radio
I have been into CB radios since they first came out. I also have 50 year experience as a ham radio operator and an electrical engineer. I have never had a better CB radio. I purchased a second one just to have in years to come as a spare. I use it every day-it has very low crosstalk from high power CB transmitters nearby on the Interstate.

talkabout t7400 (yellow Ni-MH)
These radios are overall good quality ( but not as good as the old t6220's). The first day that I had them one of the latches onthe belt clip broke. I called up the help line and got a new one(seven days later i might add) only to see that this one was smaller and thiner than the one that came with the radios- this tells me that they (the company) fixed the issue of the belt clip, it works better despite the fact that the teeth on the radio are too small and the radio fall off. The box says that the unites are "field cirtified" (6 miles over open land). I feel that these radios are too big for the range and too big for the shortage of Wattage ( watts is what gets your signel herd over long distances and perced through most obsrtuctions people). I feel thay should buy these radios if you are just want an introduction unite and don't want to spend alot of money.

NOT SO GREAT AS THEY SAY.JUST OK
These radios look nice but there are some problems here. First the batteries do not last long unless you do not talk. Second the biggest problem for me was uncompatibility with other radios and brands. The receive quality is very poor and hard to understand at times. I also hace a T7200 and the difference is like night and day. The 7200 is the best. The 7400 i believe is an has flaws and that is why you see them priced so low. I paid $24.00 on ebay and also have seen the set at home depot clearance for $44.00 today. What good is any radio if you cant understand what someone is saying? Good try motorola but this is a poor product.NOT RECOMMENDED TO PURCHASE.

Excellent Product T7400R
The T7400R works great. No, I did not get 12 miles of range, but I have not been out on the open plains with them yet.

Don't beleive the negative hype, these radios are fine.
I don't know what the fuss from other reviewers is all about.These radios work fine.Like the rest of life, have realistic expectations.They sell for $43.69.Why do people expect the performance of a short wave radio?That is a recipe for disappointment.If you want the performance of $1000 2 way radios, buy that flavor and do not buy the inexpensive one.
Love the features, Hate the range and usage!
From cellphone and also the pager era I began my love affair with Motorola.Don't need to read much farther into my review to get to the meat of it.Sometimes companies make a lousy product even though they have others that are great!Don't Buy These!They fall into the former category
Why can't they be honest?
10 miles? I bought the 6510 at Costco. I had my doubts but I figured if they advertised 10 miles surely it would do at least a couple. But only if you are on the water or other flat plain. Why do you need one of these if you can see the person? They only work if you have a direct line of sight and that was only a mile or two at most. But get over a hill or within trees or houses and absolutely nothing! I lost my party!

Good
After reading the other reviews they are what I expected. They have been very durable (I bought them for my kids to use) and the battery life is excellent. The range is just what others have said you get out of most radios, 1/2 mile + or - in the city. (Good luck with 6 miles LOL. I am glad I did not waste my money on the "longer range" ones.)
Uniden 2 way radios
I have used these radios for 2 years at a summer camp for staff to be in constant contact.They are reliable, light weight, and have a good range.

One of the three new batteries required replacement

I purchased the Rino 120 about a year ago.It has been on many trips with me.I have had it attached to my camel pack while mountain biking and hiking.It has been through several crashes on the bike with me.While Geocaching, I dropped it into a stream.I snatched it back up, and found it to be operating perfectly.I have had this on the outside of my pack during light to heavy rain, with no problems.I can do many trips on a set of batteries.I use it often when 4X4'ing with my Jeep.I'll preset coordinates for intersections or points of interest, and it keeps me right on.When Geocaching, it has always led me within a few feet of cache.
Almost there ...
The Rino 120 is VERY easy to use.It has many user-friendly options, and it does not require vast knowledge of global positioning.I did not give this product 5 stars because of the need to purchase additional detailed maps, and the only choice of them being US and Canadian maps (I live overseas and travel world-wide).I really enjoy the integrated 2-way communications capabilities -- it has enhanced the scope of my own employment performance.

'Waterproof' It's Not!
The Rino 120 manual says this: "The Rino 120 is waterproof to IEC 60529 IPX7 standards [30 minutes at 1 meter depth] and is rugged enough to endure the most trying use."My experience was otherwise, and the Garmin response was troubling.

Not as Expected
Range is very weak probably less than half a mile. Don't waste your money.

no Range
I purchased these radios for a back up so to speak for my elderly mother. We live approximately 1/2 mile from each other and I wanted her to be able to reach me if she had an accident and could not get to a phone. These walkie talkies worked great within 200 feet of her house but after that the range lost any chance of hearing her. I would not reccomend them to anyone who needs something to rely on!!!!!

Es un buen equipo considerando su bajo precio
Los Motorola Talkabout FV200AA GMRS son muy buenos equipos considerando su bajo precio. Los hemos utilizado en una distancia de aproximadamente 500 metros en l�nea vista en la ciudad y la recepci�n es muy buena. A 200 metros en la ciudad sin linea vista la senal se pierde. Los compre para mis hijas con el objetivo de ubicarlas en espacios abiertos en un rango de 250 metros y para este uso funcionan muy bien. ... Read more

Great Tools
We used these radios on a Corvette road tour to the national convention in San Antonio.Had no problems, great response.Batteries appear to last more than a few days.

Motorola radios, good performers
We use quite a few of the 5500 and 5400 series Motorola FRS radios. They all work together as long as everyone is on the same frequency (along with the sub-frequency). The AA and rechargeable battery versions are all compatible as well... you can buy the AA version and insert a rechargeable battery and it works fine. (Don't know if it works in reverse but it should). Sometimes the earbud jack gets broken inside (cheap weld) and the earbud won't work anymore. If looking for inexpensive accessories, look for generic aftermarket parts. Why pay $20 for a PTT Motorola earbud when you can get it for $5?

Motorola T5500AA
In general, these two way radios work very well. We use them when we ski and for the most part we can communicate beter than using our older more simple radios.The privacy channels are great for when tons of others on the slope have radios too.

lousy distance
this two way radio is a kids toy. Bought it for $30.00 It says 5 miles as the distance but you can only get 1/4 mile if you are lucky... Motorola should return my money. I hope they read this. Total ripoff

Good for the price
First, if you buy these make you you get the ones with rechargeable batteries, you will save the price difference in two battery sets.

Stay connected with your buddies while on the trail, at the baseball game, or anywhere else within a 6-mile range with this pair of GMR638-2CK two-way radios. Also ideal as neighborhood watch tools and kid-sitting aids, each state-of-the-art radio features 22 channels (15 GMRS, 7 FRS) and 38 privacy codes, along with a voice-operated transmitter that enables hands-free communication when used with an optional HS 2467 headset and microphone. The large number of channels and privacy codes give users several communication options, ensuring that they can almost always talk with friends or family via an exclusive, uninterrupted signal. The channels are easy to find thanks to the channel scan feature, which browses for active channels while you watch, and the channel monitor function, which listens for weak signals on a given channel. To transmit on a GMRS or FRS channel, a user merely presses the PTT button while the scan is paused.Read more

Great for keeping track of my kids
I live in a typical suburban subdivision, absolutely indistinguishable from the hundreds of thousands of similar neighborhoods around the US.I give one of these to my kids and let them go to the parks, their friends' houses, etc.I can reach them easily and they can reach me.The reception is great for us, but we haven't tried it over about 3 miles.

Worth The Price
At about $15 shipped these radios are certainly worth the price and function as an excellent intercom between houses on the property where I live.They also were useful at a recent convention held at the LAX Hilton where they communicated through 6 concrete floors!
Not bad - not quite 6 miles though
They are a good size and the charger is compact.However, not quite sure on the 6 miles as advertised - most channels get static and other people talking at less than 1 mile away. ... Read more

hand held scanner
I bought this as a gift but the recipient is truly pleased and uses this product every day.

Small but lots of features
It does everything promised but takes several hours of going over the instructions to figure out how to program some of the features.Instructions hard to locate in booklet.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SCANNERS I HAVE EVER HAD
I think if you are looking for a scanner this is the one to have. I had a little difficulty with the instructions for the programming but i figured it out. I give it 5 stars still but the instructions could be a little more user friendly. Alot of fun with this toy. I think they fail to mention it does come with rechargable batteries.

complicated but good
lots of bells and whistles. don't know why all manufacturers are allowed to advertise ridiculous numbers for range. my experience has been 1-2 miles with gmrs and this is no different. i like this radio.

Really crappy radio
I bought these radios without doing my research and I'm regretting it now.The 17 mile range is so wildly exagerated as to be ludicrous.I can't manage anything more than 1.5 miles with them and as mentioned in another review, the speech quality is scratchy and garbled, even at closer range.My Cobra Micro-Talk FRS-105 radios have much better speech but not quite the range, although close.Never, never buy these radios.You will find them to be a waste of money.

Exaggerated range
I have compared numerous two-way radios over the last few years, and I was eager to see a radio that was small and had more than FRS range.This is not the product.

Stay safe while navigating the open waters with the Uniden MHS 350 handheld two-way VHF radio. Specifically designed for marine applications, the radio receives all U.S., Canadian, and international marine channels, keeping you fully up to date on all the latest oceanic activity. At the same time, the radio offers 10 weather channels from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), so you'll hear about approaching storms before they hit. And thanks to the radio's Specific Area Message Encoding (S.A.M.E.) weather alert, you needn't worry about receiving bad weather news from outside your region. Instead, S.A.M.E. employs a FIPS code that syncs with your specific location, so if a nasty wind or rainstorm is gathering in your immediate area, you'll know, but you won't be bothered by storm warnings 100 miles up the coast.Read more

Features

• Handheld marine 2-way VHF radio with rugged waterproof housing
• Receives all U.S., Canadian, and international marine channels
• 10 NOAA weather channels with S.A.M.E. weather alert for local storms
• Triple Watch Plus function monitors emergency channels while scanning
• Dual power (5 watts and 1 watt); 2.7 x 5.8 x 1.68 inches (W x H x D); 3-year warranty
