Good radios for everyday use

I reordered these after losing one on a moose hunt. They work very well and usually surprise me how far they go through wooded areas. From the top of the mountain I was confident that the main road could be driven 4 miles with perfect clarity. We use them daily from house to barn and they hold up well. We've broken on a few of these belt clips in the past, so you really need to put them in your pocket or somewhere you can't snag them. The flashlight downstairs came in handy during the extended power outages that followed this year's winter storms. So does the weather radio. I like the fact that you can charge them individually by plugging the mini USB into the top of the radio and also 2 into the charger at the same time. Since I have phone cords in every car and room at home, I can charge them anywhere. Very understandable when used correctly. I can even understand our 6 year old girl after teaching her not to try to eat it while I'm talking about it. If you have never used such a radio before, read the instructions as you can run into problems if you use the wrong channels. We have chosen one channel and are keeping it as the only channel our family uses as we are not professional radio operators.

Pros
  • Hands free
Cons
  • Poor repairability
