Summary: Well worth buying!
Review: I went into the store to buy some Cobra Family Radios, and the salesman was so adamant that these were better, and that their range beat the Cobra hands down, that I reluctantly gave in. Now, I've never tested them against the Cobra, but I have tested them, car to car, simultaneously against my mother's Audiovox pair. NO CONTEST. The Audiovox's were full of static, and were out of range long before the Motorola's. She even thought her Audiovox's were defective and sent them back, but the replacement pair was just as bad.These are easy to operate--you need not carry the manual around with you. Easy to change channels, and BTW, we've been on the same channel for the couple years we've owned these, and have only experienced interference once. If you have the batteries out for too long, the channel resets to #1, so watch that. We use them often to communicate from car to car on trips. We use them at sports events when the kids are playing at the same time, and even in the grocery store. The only challenge is remembering to take them along!

Summary: No need to buy any other model!
Review: If you compare all the 2 way radio's out there you'll find that most are the same. The have the same range and the same number of channels. The only difference between this model and the 280 series is that this one doesn't have hand-free.... BIG DEAL! The FS60 is a little larger but sounds exactly the same as the better models. EXACTLY! NO DIFFERENCE. So if you don't need hands-free don't bother looking at any other model...this one's for you.

Summary: Great price, great performance
Review: It was very difficult for me to select a FRS because of my short budget. However, Motorola's FR-60 has cleared all the difficulties. I saw FR-50(the cheapest model of Motorola) in some stores, but it has no secure codes, so if there were more than 14 pair of users of FRS, then you would be in trouble with using FRS. But FR-60 has 38 different secure codes, so there is very little possibilities of sharing same channel and code with other. Furthermore, FR-60 has good performance like other Motorola's FRSs. I believe it can be the best choice of FRS.

Summary: Cheaper that works
Review: Its the cheaper model of motorolas 2 way radio, but it works like the most expensive. Its really reach the 2 miles conversation for the price of the SLK model. If you do not worry about the desing, you might consider to buy the FR60 instead the SLK's. It works even better!

Summary: useful
Review: These are very useful. I got two of these for my birthday. They can communicate about one and half miles in my town which has so many trees! I think they're good if you do not want to pay a lot of money. I rated it four stars because it doesn't have features like auto-power off and its a bit big but the problem with the size is probably because they are so armored because I dropped them so many times and they still work! they can really help in museums if you split up and I know that because once me and my family did not have these and we had a very hard time finding each other. If you need good two-way radios don't waste all your money on those 130$ each radios! All they have is features like watches which you can find out by just looking at your wrist and all those features don't even have anything to do with communication! Do the right thing and buy at least one pair of FR60s! I very strongly recommend these and this is why. 1.They dont cost a lot. 2.All their features are for communication. 3.They are well armored. 4.It is very easy to adjust the volume. 5.they have 38 subcodes and 14 channels. and that is the basic reason I like them after having them almost 5 months. I hope I have convinced you to buy this product. Good luck choosing a Two-Way radio!

Summary: Good FRS from Motorola
Review: This FRS has all the 14 channels and 38 subchannels similar to other FRS. It has back light feature which is useful at night. It is bigger than the latest version from Motorola like the 280, I still found it very easy to carry. It did not have the channel scan feature which is easier to find an open channel in a crowded mall. Overall it is very easy to use with 5 different call tones.

Summary: Motorola FR60 FRS radio
Review: This is a great basic unit to introduce your technophobe friends & family to the fun & convenience of the Family Radio Service. Here in suburban Los Angeles, I've had no problems finding a clear channel without using the 38 "privacy codes" (sub-audible tones inserted onto the outgoing signal to be recognized by the receiving radio set to the same "code" tone) Signals are crystal clear w/great sound quality through all 19 floors of my work hi-rise and hilltop range 'line-of-sight' is well in excess of the advertized 2 miles. Fortunately, the transmit button is ergonomically correct, on the left SIDE, unlike the incredibly awkward face-center ones on the SLKs. The heavy duty construction makes for a solid, substantial though still compact radio, much more impressive than the toy-like feel of most other FRS units. My only complaint about the FR60 is the overly loud beep that accompanies every button push (except transmit). Overall - GREAT RADIO !
