Easy to use and sound good, poor range Jan 22, 2010
Like all of these kind of radios, the range numbers are for situations that don't exist. So don't believe them! These say 25 miles and even under nearly idea conditions (mostly flat land, few trees, no buildings, and no other interference) they function at a small fraction of the advertised range, 2-3 miles maximum.

Good radio, nice price Aug 13, 2009
I got these radios to keep a safety contact when I'm nearby in the forest, with hills and of course lots of trees in between. The effective range was about 2 miles in this condition, which was good enough for me. The radios are light to carry, they come with a handy belt clip. There's a dock for easy recharging. Using it was rather easy and intuitive, although the menu key that has several functions seem a bit confusing at first -- just adjust all settings with the manual in hand and then don't touch them again :-)

I'm not sure how long the battery lasts: I've used it for whole mornings or whole afternoons mostly sitting there on standby with maybe a few minutes worth of chat and it took several days like this for the battery indicator to get down to 2/3rd.
It's a NiMH battery so it *will* have aging issues after a few years but by the time they start loosing their charge it will be more economical to simply buy a new set than replace the batteries.

I do give it 4-star instead of 5 just because of the "iVox" hands-free feature: I just couldn't get it to work and the manual is not too helpful on that one. I kept setting the mode on, then later when I'd try to use it nothing would happen and I'd realize the iVox mode had gone off in between. I'm dubious of the utility of that mode anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

If there's one feature I miss: I wish the radio would also display the current time. Like that I could skip carrying a watch. But then most people probably don't care about that :-)

Very disapointed! Jun 19, 2009
The Motorola 9500 was strongly recommended. However the set that I received turned out to be a piece of junk. Very poor voice clarity and quality. We depend on our talkabouts for car to car close range communications and boat to boat line of sight communication both of which were very poor, to the point of just not using them, which put us in a very unsafe position at times. I did call Motorola and was informed that I was past the warranty time and they would do nothing. My recommendation is to buy a set of Midland 900 or 950s and have a quality set of communicators.

Actual tested range: Approximately .7 miles May 26, 2009
This is the first pair of two-way radios I have used.

They work very well, voice is clear.

I tested the range of these units by driving away from the other user, we kept talking until the signal began to break up, which was about .7 miles. Your mileage may vary.

This was over relatively hilly terrain with quite a few trees.

These units have connectors for a headset and also have voice activation.

Turn down you volumn May 06, 2009
Used the Motorola two-way radios on a 2000 mile road trip - great communications with day long battery life and swapping in AA Batteries did not decrease range of quality of transmissions. Great radios - a good buy at a great price.
