BAOFENG MP31 GMRS Radio Handheld Two Way Radio, Waterproof Rechargeable Walkie Talkies with NOAA Scanning & Receiving, GMRS Repeater Capable, 2-in-1 Type-C Charging Cable, Earpieces, 2 Pack

I was looking for walkie-talkies for a cross country road trip with elderly parents in separate vehicles, and found this. These did their job beautifully and I can't imagine how it would have gone with just cell phones.If you're going on a road trip, get yourself a GMRS license from the FCC (cheap) and a few of these - these are simple enough for non-tech people to learn and they have a very generous range to them as well as a nice battery life. Very grateful!

I've recently been bit hard by the GMRS bug and have bought a dozen or so radios from Baofeng, Tidradio, Motorola, Midland, Radioddity, B-Tech, etc. All these companies make good radios at various price points and features, but none really nail the "family radio" market.For the money and features, these BAOFENG MP31 radios are a steal in my opinion.What makes them the Goldilocks of GMRS radios for the family is as follows:Simple to use: Far too many radios force you into submenu hell and therefore if you don't have the manual handy (or incredible memory and recollection), you'll never figure out what to do. I love that these radios have no menus at all, and have only three buttons and a knob: push to talk, channel up, channel down, and knob for power and value.Waterproof or at least water-resistant: You'd be surprised how hard this is to come by in a low-cost GMRS radioUSB-C charging with a splitter for convenient dual radio charging. This is so simple and so handy.Lastly, detachable antenna in case you want to upgrade to a tuned antenna for better range and/or clarity.My son and I are loving these BAOFENG MP31s.

Tested and they work but it seems to have low mic gain. Radio to Radio seems fine but This radio to another beofeng like uv5r or tigradio, I have to turn up the volume more to hear these radios.More testing is needed.If you buy a few of these for a large warehouse, you will or should be fine. They would right out of the box. 11$-14$ per radio as long as you use all these radios is far cheaper and better then the off the shelf ones.

fast delivery, very good quality, good frequency range, good range coverage , good battery life and eazy to use.

Love the radios work great for off-roading and around camp. Both usbc charging plugs broke which is a bummer that o have to source new charging cables. Would have gone 5 stars if the cables held up.

I used this for trails on UTV. Will hit two miles in the forest no problem . When on top of a mountain I reached 5 miles. In town about 1.5 miles. For the price they can’t be beat . The frequencies are already programmed you just have to move the channel. Unfortunately if it’s loud you won’t know what channel you’re on cause it’s a recorded voice saying “ channel 1”. So with my helmet and the sound of the engine it was difficult to hear. These are good to go as is. If your going to start changing the antennas, for the price you might as well buy some different ones.

I am a ham and the family has a gmrs license. Great long distance communication. Got it for the wife and the youngest, it is super simple to use even if your not a radio geek like me.

Like the ad says right out of the box select the channel and talk away great little product
