I have other FRS radios, and I though this would be good for the kids to wear to keep track of them. When someone talks on the unit, the words are totally garbled on the other end. Pretty much useless. J&R does not pay for shipping, so $$ on the way back and $$ for a replacement is not worth it. It's possible I got a bad unit, but I'm not investing anymore of my time, except to finish this review.
