The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

I thought it was like a phone - buy it and use it. But no!
As soon as I bought two walkie-talkies, flipped a toggle switch, chose some first channel that came across and began to speak once and again, a confident voice on the air immediately scolded me, said that if I broadcast on this channel again, I would be fined and the walkie-talkie would be taken away. Then I realized that I needed to read the Internet first, and only then I found out that you can’t turn on the transmission on any channel, there are dedicated civilian allowed frequencies, and you need to tune in somewhere to 44620220 MHz, then there will be no problems.

Pros

Well made and cheap. Confidently catches at a distance of about a kilometer in the forest, but I haven’t tried further yet.

Cons

There is not a single warning in the instructions that you cannot use arbitrary frequencies and channels. On the battery case, they lied about the capacity of 2800 mAh. Without instructions, it is generally impossible to figure it out, the interface is not at all intuitive.
