Rechargeable Retevis RT22 Walkie Talkies - Long Range Two-Way Radio Communication

Amazon Customer: These radios are a good value for the price. Connection is 9/10. They could be better but are definitely worth the price

Mellisa Swancutt: The Retevis RT 22 is the staple radio in my workplace. Because the price is reasonable, it is less painful when radios go missing or get dropped and we have to replace them. They are easy to use. The only issue we have had is the belt clips are a bit flimsy and break - but it's easy to get replacements.

Ken Vipperman: The range was pretty good. One walkie talkie is unusable dut to the microphone on it being so scratchy you can't understand the person using it. Not a bad value for the price and batteries last a good while.

Damon P.: I purchased the 10-pack RT22 radios for use at a Gala that was being held in a very large museum. I love how small these radios are, and how easy they are for anyone to use. I've used several types of radios over the years, and these are by-far my preferred ones, strictly because of their size and low-weight. As far as their range of communication, they held up really well compared to the previous, more expensive, brands that I have used too. However, my use would probably be considered short-distance. Definitely under 1 mile at all times. Prior to the evening of the Gala, I tested the range of each radio in my neighborhood, in a 7-story building, and at the museum. Here are the results from each (fyi: all of these tests were using headsets connected to the radios):

Neighborhood test - I had my wife stay in the house and I walked several blocks away. I could hear her very clear, even when turning corners, putting multiple houses in-between us. I would say I walked about a quarter to half a mile away. The only time the signal broke up was when I walked down a hill, and the ground obstructed what would be considered a direct line-of-sight to the house, which also included...

J. M. Mcmurrin: I've outfitted a neighborhood watch / fire-wise group with these, parting them out as singles (one for $10 with USB cable or with charger for $18. ) People are amazed that you can get a nice looking/sounding radio for 10 dollars that communicates well around the neighborhood.
PROS
Sleek. Smaller than a smartphone and much lighter.
Powerful. We have gotten 6 miles, though 0.5 to 2 is average.
Programable (we use one frequency for check-ins and have an emergency channel that uses same freq but with a privacy tone; so those who want to keep radio on 24/7 for alerts but not be bothered with chit-chat can!)
Software/cable included. And it works well. Chirp also works (which I've used to re-purpose one for myself as a ham radio.)
Battery life - even though battery is small, mere monitoring can last for 2+ days and with moderate transmitting a day use is possible. (They recommend disconnecting after charging to be absolutely battery safe, though monitoring while plugged in is possible.)
Retevis support is top notch. Even though there is language barrier they do their utmost to make stuff right and answer questions.
CONS
Only 16 channels. I left out the low...
