Review: Although I haven't much experience with 2-way radios, I have found it to be a most satisfactory device. It is very easy to use, and has excellent range. It is also very clear. The only things which might be considered faults are that it is not entirely water-resistent, and tends to act strangely in the cold weather. I found the multitude of functions quite impressive, such as the battery-level indicator and the temperature. The pager is also very handy, as is the ability to lock one's settings. I would definitely recommend this product.

Review: The GE 35810 FRS radio has many features. First, contrary to the information posted on Amazon, this radio uses AA batteries. This is necessary to save money on power. Some radios use AAA batteries and cost a bundle to keep it powered.

The 35810 has all 38 CTCSS tones and they work great! Some radios don't do well on certain tones, but this one does. As an added bonus, there is a temperature display!

Only two minuses kept me from giving it 5 stars. One, the base is not squared to allow it to stand up on its own. Nothing major, but I do like a radio that stands up. Two, it scans channels but not CTCSS tones. Again, nothing major, but a nice feature to have.

Range and sound are very good. CTCSS tones are compatible with Motorola and Radio Shack radios as well as most other FRS radios.
