The sound quality was also impressive and it’s so easy to use.

I think these have good features for a bubble pack frsgmrsonly radio i cant speak for the long term quality or reliability because i have not owned them long or used them much
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I initially got another set that barely transmitted so i had to return those but the replacements i got are working good
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
But its probably about the highest power that any of the bubble pack frsgmrsonly radios offer

The antenna is longer than some other bubble pack radios i think for the frsgmrs frequencies it needs about 6inches minimum so any radios with those real short antennas are not going to have as much range

It comes with nimh battery packs but theyre only 700 milliamp hours which only lasts 14 hours with just listening no transmitting but you can use 4 aa alkaline batteries for somewhat longer lasting battery charge time at least twice based on what i read on the internet
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I wish it was designed to work with aa rechargeable batteries i tried putting 4 aa rechargeable batteries in it and it did work it transmitted well at least 34 mile but i did not test it extensively so i cant guarantee anything because the rechargeable batteries put out less voltage than regular alkaline batteries
