Fair range/reception at best. [Posted on 2007-01-10]
I purchased these radios not having first hand experience with FRS/GMRS radios at all. But I did do a lot of research. Unfortunately most of the negative reviews I read about them were true for me. The 1 watt of power only got me about .5 mile of reception at best. The people who only need two-way radios for usage ranges of less than this may love this radio. If this does not describe you, then I strongly recommend going for a higher wattage model (for example I now know that Midland makes some excellent 4 and 5 watt models). Power = range. The advertised max ranges of all radios can likely only ever be reached under extremely ideal conditions. That's marketing for you. I did return the Motorolas and got my money back.

The T6500 Radio is a good choice for the person that need something standard and don t spend much money.
Not 12 miles [Posted on 2007-03-19]
Tried this at a straight stretch of road at a distance of 3 miles works good but beyond that lot of static. NOAA feature is good and helpful during storm warnings.Definitely not for 12 miles as it says on the cover even with one watt transmitting power.
I have no regrets!! [Posted on 2007-04-05]
This is a very simple 2 ways radio. I used for 3 days and one stops working. Of course Amazon change it and the other one it's still working. I used for a travel in Disney and it worked very well.
Not even close [Posted on 2008-06-04]
I'm with some of the other reviewers here.. I didn't really expect to get full range, but when testing in a suburban Virginia neighborhood I barely got 4 blocks (~ 3/4 mi). Unless you're on a lake they are pretty much useless.
