Summary: All you would ever want
Review: All I can say this is a great product. It is well designed, looks great, easy to use, has great features, great reception. I am a student studying to become an engineer and I often look at products and find flaw after flaw. I often look at a product and find dozens of things they could change or improve. However, in this case I am completely satisfied. Not only do the two way radios work well but they are a very resonable price. Also, these radios have subcodes which give you all the channels you would ever need. I took them on a 6 day backpacking trip in yosemite national park, and they preformed very well. My groups at times split into two groups, and they were very useful to keep us in contact at all times for safety and comfort. They were also useful at keeping the people in front in contact with the people in back. Saved a lot of yelling, miscommunication and stopping. My buddy and I in front were able to radio back how to cross a stream, where the downed tree was etc. Great for someone scouting ahead. Once again 5 stars!

Summary: great!
Review: Excellent quality, durable, good range, clear signal. We've been very happy with these. We mostly use them when my husband climbs on the roof to do something like reposition the satellite dish or other thing like that where one of us needs to be in the house and the other needs to be on the roof. I'm afraid of heights so I never "need" to be on the roof but he goes up and snaps one of these to his belt. He can hear me and talk back (in a nice way) without having to hold it which is especially nice when he's on the roof. As I said, its clear and has good range so we're quite pleased. It fell onto the driveway from about 10 ft up at one point and survived the fall but I don't recommend doing too much of that.

Summary: Great For Vacations
Review: Having been burned by toy walkie-talkies that cost almost as much as these and barely work at two feet, let alone two miles, we were skeptical. Our son got a pair of these while we were on vacation, and they worked great. They were easy to use. The audio quality was very good. They fit in your pockets or can be used with the clip attachment. They were easy on the batteries. They worked clearly at just over 1 mile of beachfront (fairly open terrain). They worked well through 9 floors of steel and concrete. They were dropped once and worked flawlessly. These are great for the whole family. Highly recommended.

Summary: Performed above expectation
Review: I bought a couple of these 5420 2-way radios. I must say they performed way above expectations. The battery life is good and the range in the open is excellent (personally tested up to 2.5km). Within the city, I could get my friend in the hotel room 1.5km away. For that price & performance, I don't think you can get a better deal anywhere else.I have used 2-way radios without subcodes and I must say it is a joy not to listen to the constant chatter all the time. Highly recommended.

Summary: Talkabout T5420
Review: I bought a pair of these a couple of months ago, mainly to keep in contact with my kids while they're out in the neighborhood playing. The sound is incredibly clear...no static what-so-ever. One of the best features is the sub-codes. I haven't had any interruptions while talking to my children, thanks to the sub-codes! I haven't really tested the range but, my daughter did walk to a little neighborhood store about 4 blocks away and we had no problems at all understanding each other, or interference. Another great feature is the keypad lock. This prevents the channels from accidently getting changed while being in a pocket, bumped, etc. If you're looking to buy FRS 2-way radios to keep in contact with your children while they're playing out in the neighborhood, the Motorola Talkabout 5420 would be an excellent choice, and I highly recommend it!!

Summary: Good for home use, or short communication in the city.
Review: I bought the pair of these radios hoping for a 1/4-1/2 mile range in the city. In my neighborhood, which has trees and is on a slight hill, I don't get that. If you want an intercom to keep in touch with someone at an event when you are separated, or doing work when two of you are not in the same location and you have to coordinate activities and you are nearby, ok. But I was disappointed that I couldn't use this like a cell phone at the range stated...

Summary: Love it!
Review: I bought these as a Christmas gift for my husband. We moved into a house and he's been doing a lot of work outside. It's much easier to just radio him than searching all over the place for him!

Summary: GREAT TWO-WAY RADIO
Review: I bought two (2) of this Single Motorola Talkabout T5420 only last June, and I just got only few days about by a family friend who just arrived home and brought this units to me here in the Philipines. I was so excited to use it, so when I learned that our family friend is arriving by July 8, I bought already batteries for this. I tried it at the biggest mall (SM MEGAMALL) here in the Philippines, and I found out that the radio is very clear and my daughter, Keana Aedrielle, whose just turning 3 years old love to play on it at the mall, and even in our house. Its very useful to us who love to go malling every weekend. No need to use our mobile phone just to locate each of others. So get this item now and you will be crazy about it!

Summary: Great Radio/Accessories stink
Review: I enjoy the radio, it's features and useability is very simple. However the belt clip stinks. At least 50% of the reason I purchased was because of the clip. Both clips broke within 3 days of use by two different users. I emailed Motorala and they were non-responsive as to replacement or problem.
