Nice little radio with a lousy battery

We didn't have high hopes for these radios given their small size. We were happy to find them sharp and clear - at least 1/2 mile away - which would be our greatest need. The small size is perfect - they fit in a shirt pocket and are still easy to use. Now for what we don't like. The battery life is terrible - barely 4 hours with very limited usage! And it takes 12 hours to recharge! Don't even think about hanging them on your belt. The belt clip barely moves (but we had the same problem with even pricier Motorolas). So we like the small size and simplicity. Range is decent for our use (1/2 mile), but battery life is greatly reduced.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Exterior
