A high-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

Do not repeat my mistake, do not buy a walkie-talkie in dubious online stores. At first I was seduced by a low price and ordered delivery. The walkie-talkies seemed to be normal, but the communication range did not exceed 500-700 meters, the battery was fastened very tightly, but even at the slightest touch of the key it flew off, the batteries sat down in 2 hours of operation in the receive mode.

After consulting on the forums, I realized that I had fallen for a fake. Then I went and bought it in a normal store, a little more expensive - they turned out to be excellent devices without the above disadvantages. Buy only the original, from trusted sellers.

Pros

Great radio with many features. Work in two ranges. In the lower range, the range of work in the forest is longer and reaches 3-4 km. Speaker volume is very good. It's easy to find any. accessories. Including short antennas, if you need to make the device compact and work with it on the airsoft site, or elongated ones, if you need to increase the communication range while fishing or hunting. A wide frequency range and a scanning function will allow it to make friends with any other station (well, except for the Sibishka, 27 MHz, of course).

Cons

All such dust and moisture protection is not so hot. Therefore, to work in extreme conditions, it is still better to buy a cover. And for work in time of rain or snow - a headset or a PTT. The volume control is flimsy, I'm afraid if you touch it a little harder - it will break. Accumulators quickly run down, although there is enough for a day of work.
