Summary: Works as promised
Review: This package does everything it is suppossed to do. I've used the radios mostly in very rugged, deep canyons and have had no problem communicating. They have surived brief dunks when their owner has lost his footing fording streams. The radios seem to hold a signal better than some of the other brands I've tried. The recharger can be used with the included AAA NiCad batteries when they are in the units, or you can take the batteries out and charge them w/ another battery charger. This is great if you need to rotate battery sets so you have constant use of the radios. The units also work with regular AAA and rechargeable NiMH batteries, so you have lots of options. The automatic power stand-by feature is a big plus and significantly extends the working life of the batteries. The only negative I have is that the call button is too much, it sounds like a fire alarm going off. If you're looking for a pair of FRS radios with a charger look no further, this is the best setup for the price.

Summary: Works great!
Review: We took these radios to Disneyworld, and they worked great. My friends had cheaper models, with less codes, and their radios were awful in comparison. While they had to listen to Everybody;s transmissions, we were tuned in to our two radios only, like a private line, clear and easy to hear. However, when we tried to call and hear messages from our friends, I did have to deactivate the squelch (to get it back to the basic channel, without subcodes and digital subcodes), and I heard Everyone's transmissions as well, and that quality was substantially lower. Since the trip, I have sent the radios with kids on bike rides, and used them while shopping, to speed things up by sending the kids off for a loaf of bread or gallon of milk, and meet me at aisle 5. Works great.

Summary: Great for Crowded Places
Review: We used them with no interference on a crowded cruise ship and on a weekend at a major theme park. In both cases we saw many families with personal radios. Since, the FCC only set aside 14 channels, the ability to use the digital codes is a great feature. The rechargeable batteries and drop in charger are also excellent. Battery life is good! I shopped around and could not find any radio with these features at this price.
