Summary: Range is havily overquoted!!!!
Review: GMRS7000 is a good two way radio, but the range is havily overquoted. The actual range is about 2 miles in open field, less in town or buildings. As all two way radios, forests reduce drastically the range (less than a mile!).Another issue, is the battery meter which can show you 100% of battery available but, when you try to transmit, the meeter go to 0% and the display goes off. Of course you're not able to transmit anything. So you have to carefully count the hours wou've used the radio to have a rough idea of the available battery. Also you don't have any indication in the instruction book of how long to charge the accumulators. Beaside this, it's a good product. As I haven't owned other long-range two way radios (just a Motorola 0.5W) I don't know if other have the same problems.

Summary: GREAT PRODUCT
Review: GREAT PRODUCT!!! I work at a church that has Very thick walls because it was a Fall-out shelter. All of the radios ive tried have had trouble getting throught. When I got these there was no problem at all getting through. Also when we went camping part of our family was on the otherside of a mountian about 4 miles away and the reception was GREAT. A must have!!

Summary: Cheaply constructed
Review: I have read a lot of people having trouble with the ptt button on this radio. My friend had the the button break on his, and I had the same thing happen to mine. I would suggest they redesign this part. They want over $25 to repair this defect. I wouldn't buy any of their products.

Summary: Excellent Features But Shipped Defective Unit
Review: I purchased two of these GMRS units. Outstanding features, longest outreach on the market for type (7 miles max.) One of the two units shipped with a defective PTT Switch (talk button). By the time I discovered it, 30 warranity period had expired. The two units now set in a draw unused. I would not purchase again because of the short warranity period and feature set being overly complex for everday casual use in my opinion.

Summary: High quality and great features.
Review: I recently picked up a pair of these radios after having used the FRS service for a few years. The difference is astounding! These are solidly built units with a removable antenna, wall charger and Ni-MH battery pack (like a camcorder), and a large informative LCD screen. I too have contacted Audiovox about accessories like an earbud/mic (any brand should work, I just wanted to see what they had available) and a desktop charger (the units have bottom external contacts to facilitate this), but I haven't gotten a response so far. There is one thing to keep in mind when you are considering the purchase of a GMRS radio: YOU MUST PURCHASE A ...FCC GMRS RADIO LICENSE (valid for 5 years) BEFORE YOU CAN OPERATE ANY GMRS RADIO!... Not many people realize this and most retailers don't make the point very clear.

Summary: Poorly designed and prone to break
Review: My experience....one of first two I was shipped was defective, apparent badly designed/cheap switch....replacement one also defective....in my opinion, it's junk, don't buy it; what's the point of 7-miles if it keeps breaking?

Summary: No ear bud or mic
Review: The radio seems to be fine. Called Audiovox to determine source of ear bud/mike. A rather surley telephone operator told me there were none available, couldn't tell me if anyone else had a compatable one and didn't know if Audiovox ever planned to have one!

Summary: Not Working from the Start
Review: We ordered the unit as a gift before Christmas. The unit was opened in mid January and won't transmit. It appears to be a defect in the PTT switch or mike. The short warranty might as well not exist. Still trying to get some help. I own three other FRS radios made by a different leading manufacturer which in three years have never had a problem.
