| The Real Story |
I have had the 2 mile radios that worked well for 1/2 mile+
These 25 mile radios work for several miles without much issue except for heavy obstructions (trees, buildings, and the worst is the earth)
The batteries last for a lot longer than I expected (12 hour drive in a caravan to communicate between vehicles on a single charge) and they are easy to operate.
I would not recommend these for construction type applications as the button is tough to operate with gloves and the clip won't take much abuse.
They are perfect for car to car communication, around the home, and great on boats!
I use them to speak to my friends when we are fishing so that I don't have to alert the entire world to the fishing hot spots on the VHF radio.
These are not commercial grade radios, but I don't regret the purchase and when necessary, I will replace these with the latest and greatest Cobra two way radios.
Hope this was helpful!

| Mediocre quality control. |
I first bought 2 pairs of Cobra LI 7000-2 WX VP 25-Mile GMRS/FRS 2-Way Radios. A pair turned out to be useless, since one of the radio's batteries would not charge at all.
So I asked for a replacement but the new pair of radios had the exact same problem: one of the radios would not turn on because of the defect in the battery.
As you can guess this time I didn't ask for a replacement, but a refund instead. |
