    Thank you so much for posting this on UA-cam. I had already bought a couple but was confused by the printed instructions until I saw you using the walkie-talkie - now I know how to configure the radion and more!! Much appreciated.

    Great review man I have a pair of the mr355r they also have the emergency button and to PTT buttons I'm looking to get a pair of the T600 I'm hoping they have a little more range like the Motorola mt352r Giants had compared to the others ms350 mt350 and mine

      @@BusMaster99 it's confusing though. I'm reading contradicting information. One site says in 2017 the FCC expanded their restrictions and the FRS/GMRS radio combos are now legal as long as you're 2watts or less. "FRS/GMRS two way radios 2 watts or less are now considered FRS radios and are license free!" 🤔

    Absolute crap. I got stuck with these when Air Miles forced a buyout or lose points. I recently replaced batteries with 1000 mah and got less than an hour at customer cctv install, embarrassing. I've used Motorola back to 43GGV days and dropped an HT200 off a plane wing and it kept going.
    These are terrible, I also have a pair of MR350, a bit better on battery life. 10 ma charge rate on 1000 mah, sub standard.
    2 watt channels kill these, ch 8-14 are half watt, know you radio and what you need for coverage
    Plan A alkaline batteries, B a couple of Baofeng programmed to FRS and set for low power
