Why can't they be honest?
10 miles? I bought the 6510 at Costco. I had my doubts but I figured if they advertised 10 miles surely it would do at least a couple. But only if you are on the water or other flat plain. Why do you need one of these if you can see the person? They only work if you have a direct line of sight and that was only a mile or two at most. But get over a hill or within trees or houses and absolutely nothing! I lost my party!
Pros - I liked the design and it was easy to use. The NOAA weather did work - if that's all you need. Fits in a pocket.
Cons - DOES NOT WORK to keep track of your party. It takes 14 hours to recharge.
The good reviews in here must work for Motorola. Mine are going back to the store.
Great Radios!!!!
Since i have this Motorola Two Way Radios i'm so happy with it,it works great on noisy environments.I can only trust Motorola.
Functional but sounds fuzzy
At first I really liked the features and successful company backing offered with these radios. Then I ordered them, tried them for an hour and ended up hating them. The funtionality and ergonomics are great. They feel fine in your hand and the quality of the buttons, screen and range are fine -- BUT! I couldn't understand a word a person was saying into the other radio. At any volume level it was fuzzy, muddy and completely distorted. This was equally irritating on either radio. There was no interference, no static, just inconceivable communication. I also tried other GMRS radios from other manufacturers and found some to be identical, and one to be perfect. Among the others was another Motorola brand that was much higher in price and featured higher quality, but sounded exactly the same. So I think it's a design flaw in thier speakers. Fix that, and future models might turn out fine.
