Rating: - OKay
I thought since these radios cost a little more than what we had been using, they would be awesome. I don't know if it's because our building is concrete or what, but sometimes messages do not go through to ALL radios.

Similar to FRS radios in size and range, there are some differences which make the TSX300 radios an excellent option.

The radios operate in the 900 MHz range in a frequency hopping spread ... Read More
Rating: - Great radio, finally a private radio without other jerks butting in
I discovered this radio from an electrician's website.I was impressed that the company was very straightforward about the radio's specs, no outrageous mileage claims and so forth.The company even has hams on their payroll.So I ordered a pair.I found it was easy to set up.Then the test.I have one of those high powered frs/gmrs radios to test against.Set up the eXRS and an FRS radio side by side by a recorder and then took a long walk with the other pair.I would key the FRS and give a test ...
