999S Rechargeable walkie talkies for Adults Long Range with Upgrade earpieces and Charger Dock,GMRS Handheld Two Way radios IP54 Waterproof 10 NOAA CH walkie Talkie (2 Pack)

These walkie talkies are great! I bought as a gift for my son but I have used them side by side rides and they work perfectly. I dont know how far apart they actually work but I know they work well up to 1/4 mile for sure. Great value for my money and battery life is really good

Awesome product!

I like that they are pretty compact and solid. Don't have to worry about led screens and the sound quality is good. They work great in my house so I no longer have to yell upstairs for my kids. I tried to use these in my neighborhood with a distance of 2 miles and I believe there was too much interference so it did not work. However, I can hear the talk between construction works within a mile so I just switched channels. I also did not like the earpieces, but that could be user error.

Happy with usage battery doesn’t last forever but works well for the price. Range was good but not extremely far. Easy to use. Clear talking

Where to start. I ranked this review 5 stars so hopefully it shows at the top and people read it. I really think the radios should get three or four stars because the manual is terrible.A lot of people reviewing these radios have no clue how GMRS radios work. Channels 1-14 are shared with the FRS and are low power channels, you won't get as much range if you use them. Channels 15-22 are high power channels, you will get better range with them. Channels 23-38 are for repeater use, you can't talk directly radio to radio, they transmit and receive on different frequencies, you need a repeater in the middle. So people saying the channels don't work are wrong, they just don't know how to use those channels.Next, the manual is crap, there are privacy codes you can use, all the channels have privacy codes configured, nothing in the manual tells you how what they are or how to change them, so unless you know what they are, it's difficult to get another brand radio to talk to these radios.But here is the secret: These radios are a clone of a Baofeng MP31. Buy a Baofeng programing cable, go to the Baofeng web site and down load the programing software for the MP31 GMRS radio. Install the software, plug the cable into the speaker mike jack, turn the radio on and the audio to full volume and go to town programing your privacy codes.

Avoid these radios. Don't waste your money! I bought 8 of these for my family of 7. They charged well the first night. When I went to charge them again, the chargers showed that all of the batteries were already charged and would not charge them. One of the batteries, though it showed a full charge would not work in any of the radios.Even though the description says there are 38 GMRS channels and 10 NOAA channels, it lied. There are only 22 channels programmed and the other 14 channels are blank. There is no way to program these radios. NONE! They are not supported on CHIRP. I checked the internet thoroughly and their web page is utterly useless. (I will say that there are pages on the internet that said you can use the MOTOROLA software to program them but that is PC only and I don't own a PC so I did not try that option. So, I don't know if that will work or not). I returned all of them and will spend the extra $ to get something that works.

Worked ok for 4/5 of a mile with trees and houses in the way, for 20 bucks no issue at all. Channels 22 -> 38 do not work, seems both radios can get and transmit but neither will receive.For the price, well keep these, but would have liked to at least have features that were advertised. I do like the lack of buttons - easy for the wife (none-techy) to use and less likely to break due to a drop (kids). Battery seems to last a long time, I do like the USB charging option so I don't have to "lug" around additional chargers.

I have to say I was pretty impressed. my grand kids took them on their bikes, clear up to the school, about 2 miles away. and we could talk just fine. no programing required. just charge and use.
