Better than most 2-way radios. I have 3 different models of Motorola 2-way radios and this one provides the best range. It’s about one (1) mile at best, not 2 as claimed, if you are in an urban setting with varies structures between you and the other person. Do expect a lot of static when you’re on the FRS channels because it’s crowded. But with this model, I can at least hear the other person. Do know the 35 miles range is under “optimal” conditions like in an open plain or sea with nothing blocking your signals;…
Very useful once you accept their limitations. We’ve aquired a number of these and other models of Motorola FRS radios over the last 3 years, so we’re pretty familiar with their strengths and weaknesses.
Excellent features and amazing range First of all, all the distances advertised on any walkie talkie like this is based on mountain top to mountain top communication, where the valley increases the range, and no obstruction. That is where they based the 35 miles. For city use, in malls, house to house and areas with trees will be between .5 to 1 mile at most. Since I have been using Motorola Walkie talkies all my life so I knew what I was buying.
