Expect roughly half a mile to two miles in woods, hills or city, and several miles over open water or flat open ground. The 35-mile figure assumes ideal line of sight.

How long does the battery last?

About 9 hours on the included 800 mAh NiMH pack. Carry AA alkalines as backup for longer trips.

Yes, it is rated waterproof and rugged, so rain and splashes are fine. It is not designed for diving or submersion.

What comes in the box?

Typically two radios, two NiMH battery packs, a dual charging cradle, belt clips and a user guide. Check the listing for the exact bundle.

Two-packs like this usually drop during back-to-school, Black Friday and spring outdoor sales. Watch the price history for a dip below the recent range.
