We are planning to use these on our sailboat so we can communicate at a distance of around 44ft with the engine running. I needed something with voice control and hands-free calling, and most marine catalogs had good stuff for around $400 or more. These cute little voice-activated walkie-talkies are a quarter of that price, so I decided to give them a try. After failing with a very sparse small print instruction manual, I called 800 which luckily was easy to find. I was immediately helped by a very nice woman named Andrea. Not only did she walk me through what I needed to do, she emailed me a much longer user manual that was supposed to list all the options. She also told me about low power and high power channels. Note that they are way more powerful than we need for a 44ft range, so hopefully we can find something longer with them. I haven't tried them on a boat yet, but I'm very optimistic. We could hear a bit of "lint" between our calls, and in VOX mode it seems reasonable to say about 2 seconds of introductory material, like "1 2 3 hello". because the first few seconds of voice activation may not work. But it will do exactly what we need for a fraction of the price we thought we were paying!
