GMRS Radio GM21 GMRS Ham Radio Handheld Radio Long Range Walkie Talkies for UV-5R Rechargeable Two Way Radio 999 Channels NOAA Weather Radio DTMF Copy Frequency Battery USB-C Charger(2 Pack)

Excellent quality and they work exactly as advertised

All-in-all a fantastic product for the price. I purchased the set of radios with included accessories for right around $50.I tested their range with both the "high gain" (long) antenna and the short (stubby) antenna. Both achieved about the same performance. It was a very unscientific test. Myself and my son walked in different directions in a very populated suburban neighborhood jam packed with wireless interference. We were able to hear each other pretty clearly from approximately 4100 feet away. (Around 3/4 mile).Considering the nature of the environment I wasn't really expecting to even get that far away. We were still able to hear each other when we turned around and stated back toward home so they probably still had a little more broadcast range than what we achieved.In an open environment such as a field, I imagine the range would be even better. I don't have any repeaters nearby that I'm aware of but these radios are capable of using them if you know how to program it properly, significantly extending their range.The features on these radios are immense. I'm learning how to operate these radios using the keypad alone for now, but there is software to make setting up the radios much faster if you know what you're setting up. After a little digging online, it doesn't seem so difficult.The design of the radio feels pretty solid. I like that it came with a desktop charger as well as a USB-C cable to charge on the go if needed. The USB-C charging port is on the back of the battery so you can stand the radio up and charge it.The only real downside to this package is the included earpiece. The sound quality of the handset itself is great but the earpiece sounds muddy and muffled. I tested this with a couple different radios and with the earpiece installed and removed and it makes a huge difference. You might be able to find a better quality earpiece. I didn't really intend to use the earpiece in the first place so I didn't take any stars away for that minor inconvenience with an accessory I won't use anyways.Now I'm just waiting for the wireless programmer to arrive to test that out.

Great for on the job out on the ranch. Awesome communication tool with a good range. We got several miles distance, depending on terain.

So far, these radios have worked for what little I have used them. The instruction books is full of information. I have not played with all of the features as of yet but seems to be a great product. I love the extra antennas that come with it.

First I want to be clear on a couple of things. The radios that are advertised as HAM and GMRS are not allowed in this country by a Rule the FCC made in 2017. I know it well because several of my veteran buddies lost the use of our Baofeng UV-5R radios. I called The FCC and we could not be grandfathered in, We had radios we could listen too but not transmit on. I have receive 4 different radios that are not allowed. I called the FCC again I was hoping the rule changed again but no such luck. The only company that you can buy a 2 mode radio HAM/GMRS is Tidradios H3 and H8. Beware you have to have 1 GMRS radio and 1 HAM radio. I want to explain 1 star rating is for the people that are still selling those radios that are against the FCC rules. Do you really want to mess with the feds. As far aas Baofeng radios go, i own several and I give their radios 5 stars. They work great and have just as great price point. BUT BEWARE OF THEIR NON-SUPPORT DEPARTMENT. THEY GET MINUS 10 STARS. WHEN I FIRST RECEIVED A RADIO BOTH HAM AND GMRS ICONTACTED THEIR NON-SUPPORT DEPARTMENT TO ASK A QUESTION. MY ANSWER WAS YOU DID NOT BUY IT FROM OUR WEBSITE,YOU BOUGHT IT FROM AMAZON. YOU GET NO HELP OR NO WARRANTY FOM US. THAT WAS BAOFENG. I GO THROUGH A LOT RADIOS PROGRAMMING THEM FOR PEOPLE. EVEN THOUGH THEIR RADIOS ARE FINE THEIR NON-SUPPORT WILL KEEP ME FROM EVER BUYING ANY BAOFENG AND TELL ALL THE PROPLE THAT I PROGRAM THEIR RADIOS. ALWAYS BUY THEM FROM AMAZON. BEST PROTECTION FOR THE CONSUMER. AND WHEN YOU CALL THEIR SUPPORT PEOPLE THEY LISTEN AND HELP. IF YOU WANT RECOMEDATIONS ON THESE RADIOS CONTACT ME THRU AMAZON AND I WILL TELL YOU THE PROS AND CONS OF MOST OF THEM. THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR THAT KIND OF INFO.

I got these to use on the trails and in convoys. The range is good. I haven't tested them in the mountains yet but have no doubt they will do what theyre intended to do. Voice is clear. The display is excellent.

Tested at 7 miles in the mountains of Northern Arizona. Crystal clear with the stump antenna to my 1/4 wave antenna on my house.

The distance, even on relatively flat ground, is no where near the distance it states. Less than half a mile actually. Quite disappointed. Now I worry about my ham radios from Baofang. My small Midlands that I've had for years are better. Will likely return.
