The standard This radio is considered the go-to standard for snowmobiles and backcountry skiing. Good range and convenient glove-compatible remote. However, they should redesign this thing for modern times. Start with an 18650 instead of the terrible outdated battery packs (duh).
These radios work well. 3 complaints… … These radios work well. 3 complaints… 1, channels accidentally get changed if you bump the dial with letters on it, even if you lock channel on radio. 2, The microphone piece comes unplugged from radio randomly, I duct-taped mine together. 3, You must be very precise when pushing the orange button to talk, frequently especially with gloves miss the correct point and your message doesnt go through. otherwise they work well
Fragile and fail to work in the cold. Bought these for snowmobiling and they didn’t even last a couple of months. One never really worked well and stopped transmitting any sound once it got really cold (20 degrees F). They only way to fix it was to remove the battery and put the battery back in. Did this so many times during the day that eventually the connector for cable that goes between the main radio and the microphone/speaker snapped. The version 2 of these are out now and I would ONLY buy version #2 if you are interested…
