The Motorola 9500 was strongly recommended. We depend on our talkabouts for car to car close range communications and boat to boat line of sight communication both of which were very poor, to the point of just not using them, which put us in a very unsafe position at times. However the set that I received turned out to be a piece of junk. Very poor voice clarity and quality. I did call Motorola and was informed that I was past the warranty time and they would do nothing. My recommendation is to buy a set of Midland 900 or 950s and have a quality set of communicators.
This is the first pair of two-way radios I have used. They work very well, voice is clear.I tested the range of these units by driving away from the other user, we kept talking until the signal began to break up, which was about.7 miles. Your mileage may vary.This was over relatively hilly terrain with quite a few trees.These units have connectors for a headset and also have voice activation.
Used the Motorola two-way radios on a 2000 mile road trip - great communications with day long battery life and swapping in AA Batteries did not decrease range of quality of transmissions. Great radios - a good buy at a great price.
While the two-way radios worked they only allowed for a 2 mile distance instead of the 25 mile distance advertised, which in our case was one of the main reasons this set was purchased.
It is an ideal method for communiction when you are with large parties. Product is extremely easy to use. Used while on vacation in the islands on a cruise. Clarity isn't bad but not great. Worked better in open areas.
