Channel lock helps prevent accidental channel changing while you are walking or skiing. Full output power means up to a 2-mile range over land and 5 miles over water.

The 75-509W radios are water resistant for protection against light water exposure. You can monitor two channels with the dual-watch function. Other features include tone notification with four tones and Stealth Squelch to eliminate annoying background noise between transmissions.

These radios come with a one-year warranty.

Disappointing.......2002-01-06

I bought these to use at an event - the reception wouldn't carry across the building, and when it did work the quality of the sound was pretty poor.

Pretty Good Deal.......2001-10-23

I bought fifteen sets to use at our school. They've been knocked around and dropped and still work pretty good. Some of the units pick up a lot of static especially as the battery starts to run low. We still can't figure out all the features and the display. The displays are confusing and some of the features appear to be meaningless or possibly aren't working. The battery indicator doesn't seem to work consistently. Some of the transmit buttons are stubborn and have to be pressed HARD. One of the transmit buttons don't work at all. The belt clips pop off, (resulting in the unit hitting the floor) especially if you're fat and you bend over. Hah! Anyway, the bottom line is that for the cost, they've been serving their purpose.

Excellent Product for Price.......2001-07-28

This product has quite a number of things going for it. Firstly it's an excellent FRS radio with excellent range (have not been able to test the two mile range 'cause of my terrain), coupled with the headphone set it allows for ease of communication for a variety of purposes, I use it for security in-store as well and they work marvellously. Also, with the drop-in charger and rechargeable batteries the savings gained in the original great price is magnified 100X over a similar motorolla product, which does not even have battery rationing and is certaily not rechargeable! (these average 2AA batteries per day on continous use!) Ideal choice for the budget conscious shopper who wants a greater bang for the buck.

Good product for the money.......2001-06-23

These radios have worked well for us under most conditions- at the lake, in Mexico, and car to car. The nice part about them is the rechargeable batteries and the included charger. The sound quality and range has been within acceptable limits for us, and has surprised us on occasion when they have been loud and clear thru forested areas and over hills. They have been subjected to jolts on the jet ski and minimal amounts of waterspray without apparent damage. They hold a charge for a long weekend. Overall we have been satisfied with the performance of these radios and feel they provide good performance at a fair price. My only (minor) complaint is that I have to consult the owner's manual to understand some of the various functions as the lettering near the buttons and dials is small and difficult to read.

Falls far short of the mark.......2001-04-29

With twin boys of 11 and a 14 year old daughter, having this relatively inexpensive technology is certainly better than not having it. But I'm afraid that's the best I can say about these radios. I live in a typical residential neighborhood. Living just 8 blocks from the Atlantic Ocean I expected just "half" the advertised range of 2 miles, but disappointed I was. Less than 5 blocks down the road squelch covers the kids audio without 'any' adverse conditions. I purchased two sets (4) radios. The only reason why I don't return them is because I suspect the rated 2 miles is just a farce. They get a rating of 3 for the technology, but performance couldn't possibly rise above a 1. Sorry folks!
