it was good but I have seen better

I purchased a set of GMRS/FRS 2-Way Radios Model: 21-1926 & I exchanged them for the Motorola SX700R set. I have had them less than a Month & they are a good little radio for the price, more pleased with them than I have been with any set so far. NOAA Weather Radio works good too.
The Only thing I have yet to figure out is how to change the Faceplates on the Radios, which the Salesperson should explain on the proper procedure to change the Faceplates before they are Sold.
I have the Only GMRS/FRS Base Unit Model: 21-1846 that Radio Shack had in Stock & would eventually like to see them come out with another Base Unit with more Privacy Codes & NOAA Weather too.

Well first off everyone must keep in mind that these radios transmit and recieve on UHF frequencys, all FRS/GMRS radios do, this means that the radios work best if they are used in the line of sight. If you intend on using the radios in parks, or around town don't expect to get amazing range. You can expect to get maybe 3-5 miles in the city depending on the surroundings. These radios are well designed and work great, however Motorola could have designed a better belt clip, I say this because our radios are used in construction/recreation, so they will hold up to high standards but don't beat on them. I would recommend the these radios to anyone, but if you expect to get the range listed on the package you will be disappointed. I also would like to recommend that if you are looking for amazing range try a professional radio, somthing that has an output of at least 5 Watts, or a cell phone. -Tim

I have had these radios for a little less than a month now. They are the best pair I have out of three. They get great receptoin too. A little hard to figure out at first but easy after first try. Worth the price for sure. The weather channels come in super clear.

The best! they are the best radio in its area and made by the best copany ever! I have had these things for about 2 months and about 2 weeks ago I went out and got 5 more set We use them for security at fairs, truck and tractor pulls, party's, and stuff here and there. I love the clips, the look is greet too! These are defently a must!

Great radios, if your looking to buy new radios these work extremely well in an work oriented environment, plus great battery life. Though if you plan to use these radios in the city don't expect great range these radios work best in line of sight!

cool

I have had these radio's for about 8 months now, and I absolutly love them. I love to mountian bike, hike, and other activities in the woods, and these radio's have excellent reception. If you are considering on buying a set of 2way radio's I would strongly recommend these!!!

I have had crystal clear reception of up to 2.5 to 3 miles in a very hilly region. I have also had around 8 miles of reception on the interstate. Very high quality radios, would recommend to anyone.

I have had these radios for over a year now and they have gone to Heck and Back! Working with youth ministry camps, they have given a great sense of security to everyone as all the adults are 100% in contact with eachother 100% of the time. I could not suggest these high enough to anyone that works in Summer Camps or that does Youth Retreats!

These walkie talkies are great, everything about them is excellent.

This radio is great if you know how to use it. Effective mile for all types of radios are cut by half (Radios are boasted on best range, not optimal), and remember that these radios are line of sight. Anything between you and the other radio will drastically reduce your range.

I bought these radio's because there suppose to be upto 12 mile range well at 1.5 mile range they don't work

Belt Clips broke in 10 min and it is a real pain to find ear buds for it. Will not work at extended range, these are line of sight radios!!!

GREAT RADIO! Got about a 3 mile range! Great audio.

We bought these because we walk several paper routes and can keep track of each other ...very satisfied with them

does not have more than half miles range ..very bad not worth 2 cents

works great

Ordered 2 sets of radios twice. Belt clips broke on all 8 radios within 2 days.

belt clips very weak. poor design
