Summary: Great 2-Way Radio
Review: After conducting a thorough evaluation of most two-way radios from Internet reviews, I purchased two Panasonic KXTR325S Radios. I will say that I am very pleased with the performance of this product. They look great and have a good quality feel about them, plus there are a number of exceptional features about this model that make them a good buy. I especially like the voice scramble and the private talk capability when used in crowed areas. I did find that the buttons are small which might be a problem when wearing heavy ski gloves, but otherwise there was no problem using them with bare hands. My wife and I have used them while hiking in the Rocky Mountains and experienced good range and sound quality. Range was especially good for almost two miles as long as both units were within the same canyon, however this was severely reduced between canyons. I identified one major problem with the belt clip, which should not be trusted. On one hike, my wife sat down to rest and the radio came off her belt; we didn't discover this until much later so by the time we returned to the site it was gone. I did reorder a replacement Panasonic radio and but will not use the belt clip provided with the units. We both now use a small pouch to secure the radios to our belts so this problem will not happen again. I highly recommend these radios to anyone who is interested in purchasing such units. Even without the rebate, these radios are well worth the price.

Summary: Very happy with this FRS
Review: Been doing some test on how good this FRS is. Line of site, my house (wife) to my car was 5+ miles with clear signal. We ordered the head sets and use them on our ATVs. Seem ok, but if lots of back-ground noise then they pickup that noise and cancel out. I have one case and the other on backorder. Wife loves the case also. Battery life?, gone thru one set on each unit so far. We have one car cord which will help. Brother-in-law has last years another model and has order a set of these as they work so much better. He didn't have the extra features and likes these.

Summary: Great 2 Way Radios
Review: I have had a pair of these for a couple of years now and they have come in very handy. The Call Button is something that my neighbor's talk-about radio doesn't have and comes in very handy to get someone's attention before talking. The batteries seem to last forever as well.

Summary: great product, but...
Review: I read the reviews on most of the low priced frs radios and selected Panasonic. I ordered 2 of the TR320's, and 1 of the TR325. Difference is the 325 has vibe ringer (havent used yet) and scramble mode (havent used that either). I think you probably need two of the 325's to use scramble mode. In any event, it seems the 320's are exactly the same except for these 2 features. I used these 3 radios while skiiing in Beaver Creek. It is a dense ski village, so the range wasn't terrific with all those tall buildings and narrow pedestrian ways. Still, I think they did fine. Especially on the mountain. Sound quality is great. My little one had trouble keeping the button down during his talk time though, so he would be choppy. Some training helped that, but a biggger button would be nice. Only problem I had was they have an auto shut off mode default set for 2 hours, and we didnt know this before hand. It is programable for 1,2 and 3 hours. Maybe it can be set not to go off? Havent looked that up yet. I purchased a set of NiMhd batteries for these, and the charge level indicator acts strangely due to the lower voltage (1.3v vs 1.5 for akaline). Still, it is the only way to go, as you will use a lot of batteries if you use them much- even if you dont talk, but just monitor. I dont trust the belt clip on the mountain (in snow!)- but the battery compartment latch is top notch! keeps it closed till you open it. Many other radios and battery devices have problems here, especially if you drop them. Would prefer a stubby antenna, but this flip up probably helps with the range. Overall though, the quality is there! You cant go wrong with the 320 or 325.

Summary: Panasonic KX-TR325S FRS 2-Way Radio
Review: It's so simple to review a product like this it's features are well thought out and performs perfectly . It may be a few dollars more than some of the other units in the marketplace but it's well worth it.

Summary: More like a cellphone than a FRS radio
Review: The powerful added features of scrambled audio when communicating to other KX-TR325S units and the vibrating ringer make this model resemble a limited-distance cellphone. Now, it is possible to carry a FRS discreetly.
