    CNET Review

    October 2, 2001

    The Good: Lightweight; above-average range; clear transmissions; 38 subchannels; affordable.

    The Bad: Lacks retractable antenna; no channel-scanning or vibrate modes.

    The Bottom Line: An affordable pair of two-way FRS radios that do not scrimp on features or performance.
