Query: Great Value

bought this for my family to use on a Disney cruise. worked great all over the ship and from inside the stateroom to about 1/2 mile off the boat. security channels worked great even though a lot of two way radios were in use. Compact & durable, I like the rechargeable NiCd or four AAA optionm,lasted all day on a single charge. Battery gauge is bogus, shows full charge up the second it runs empty. Charging system is not intelligent so you have to monitor charge time to preserve battery life and peak charge capacity. Estimate the range in urban areas is about 1 mile, what more do you expect for $40. bought it here from Beach Audio, got it surprisingly fast. good volume and clarity. a bit more complicated to set up than I expected so you need to take the time to understand and teach others how to operate it.
