Communications were clear out to about 5-6 miles. After that they gradually were in and out. I thing 50 miles would be achievable if you were talking line of sight. The problem is that with trees, buildings, etc. between you and a second unit the signal is attenuated and deflected. Perhaps between 2 hills out in the desert with no interference 50 miles could be achieved. I do like the way they work though and the sound quality is quite good. I still would recommend them !!

I am still looking for a long range walkie talkie, this one says 50 miles and I did not get even 1 mile. I live on city in Miami FL, plain flat land, tried and did not even get 1/2 mile the most I got was 10 blocks max. Does any one knows of a real long distance walkie talkie? I am tire of this false advertising, they should explain to details the terrain you need to be to get those 50 mile ranges, and should have a table to compare to flat land ranges. I am very disappointed, I previously purchase a 30 mile range and got me 5 blocks distance now another junk 50 miles that got me 10 blocks distance.

I love these radios. My daughter and I like to go on long walks (we live in a National Forrest) and since I am over 60 years old and my 20 something daughter is special needs, we worried that a medical emergency would be very difficult to handle. Cell phones? forget it... no signal! These radios have solved that problem. Now, while the range can be up to 50 miles, you have to remember that radio is line of sight. You can be 10 miles apart with a mountain between you and it's not going to happen (unless there is a repeater on top of the mountain). For us, we keep line of sight in mind and everything is fine. The features on these radios are great two. I especially like the ability to have the emergency weather radio on stand-by in case any bad weather blows in while we are out or while we are at home on stormy nights. The included headsets work like a charm too. I hang the radio on my shoulder strap and just have to press a button to transmit. It does have the vox system too but I haven't used that. You can even filter out other radios in your area by using security codes but we are too remote for that to matter here. I hope I will be able to find replacement batteries when these reach the end of their useful life but right now, after a couple of months of frequent use, that's the only concern I have. Buy some for yourself! I think you'll enjoy them!Read full review
Obviously 50 miles is absurd but for reasonably close work and distance they are ok. I have not tested battery life but seems ok. Speakers could be a little better but that is my only complaint so far.

I’ve only used these radios one time so far, for fishing (wading) in a river. It has more functionality than I need. I only need the radio. Don’t need the flashlight or weather station. Pros: With privacy code, we didn’t have to listen to other people’s conversations. Sound quality was good, but we were only maybe 300 or 400 yards apart. The channels are the same as with my old two-way radios so I can use the old radios with the new ones. Cons: The radios are somewhat heavier than my old ones. The longer antenna is a bit in the way when I hang it off a D-ring on my fishing vest.
