These are very good radios with great range. My test distance was 6 miles in an urban area and the transmission and reception is great. I did not try for a greater distance. Having said that I need to indicate that within one week one of the batteries would not charge. I contacted Customer Service and they were very responsive (allowing for a 12 hour time difference). (Thank you Sung at HYS Customer Service) We went back and forth with a few basic questions and in the end HYS arrived at a solution that resolved my issue. So 5 stars for Customer Service.
The radios themselves are quite substantial and as previously mentioned meet my distance needs. The one criticism of the package is that the manual is non-existent. The radios arrive pre-programmed with business frequencies. New owners (and Noobs) like me are a little confused as to which frequencies are on each of the 16 channels and how to how to reprogram the channels to GMRS as I had actually wanted (I have a GMRS family license). I actually found the solution on the Notarubicon you tube channel. If you go to his video on this radio model and look at his attached notes you will see he has links to a Windows driver which is necessary to program the radios. I had trouble with Win 11 so I used a Windows 10 PC that I also had. You can than download the Note_V101 programming app. Which is very easy to work with. Admittedly, I did have to watch a CHIRP programming video to get the basics but Note_V101 is essentially the same. So a couple days of confusion and a couple days Customer Service and now I'm all good.
