 Loved the radios Oct 07, 2005
By Fat Hannah
We purchased these radios for use by our children when they go out of the house. They are very easy to operate, have great reception and were inexpensive. They have allowed our children to have more freedom because they can go to the park, but we can still be in touch with them and they can reach us if there is a problem. I would recommend these to anyone.

No privacy codes May 17, 2007
By P. Easton
These radios are very similar to the FV200R ones. In fact, on the surface it looks like the only difference is the fact that the FV200R are rechargeable. This is not true though; the FV200R have privacy codes. What this means is that you will only hear broadcasts by the other radio, and not all radios that are using that channel - which can be a lot at a ski resort. This feature will also extend battery life since the speaker won't be active that often.
Another consideration is the transmit power, which is rated at 500mW for these radios. Typically, the range is doubled for a 4-times increase in transmit power. Some two-ways on the market use 1000mW of transmit power. This will increase your range by 50%, but will consume more battery power.
You need to weigh range, battery life and privacy codes when making your decision. Motorola is a very good brand and these are very good radios - as long as you accept their shortcomings.

 Great so far! Dec 27, 2005
By glassbreaker
I read the reviews on these before purchasing a more expensive model walkie talkie for my 10 year old. For $20, the size and range works well for us. They work great inside our small gated neighborhood. Love that they clip to belt or jeans so they aren't lost...I can finally not worry about where my son is. Recommended if you are looking for a cheaper walkie talkie for communicating with your kids.

Great price Dec 09, 2005
By Erin Konerko
How can you go wrong with a price so low. They're good for both parents and kids to use. Not to mention they're easy for young kids to operate! Keep in touch.

Reception OK, but Battery Life is Bad Dec 19, 2005
By Kelvin Tong
I find this product's reception not too bad, definately not for pro but good enough for short distance, bought it for my kid to play and find it easy to operate and quite useful in certain places. However, the battery life is very short, or maybe I don't know how to operate it. Is there a temporary off button? or power saving feature? Or do I have to take out the battery everytime I don't use it? When I left it on without using it, it last barely for 2 days. I would expect the standby time to be longer.
