Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Cobra Micro Talk CXT-85 GMRS/FRS 2-Way Radio Pair (Black)Customer Review: Great Little Walkie Talkies Summary: 5 Stars
These things are great for what I have to do at my job. I work as a parking boy at a nearby picnic ground/waterslides, and I bought these so that I can communicate with the other parking boys when we are on the other side of the field. It has pretty good sound quality (one of them at least, the other one is getting a little raspy) and the transmission is good for about a half-mile in a city (anything more than that and the transmission will be a little choppy), but because my job only requires me to be at most 100 meters away from the other walkie talkie, this does not affect me.
When I took them out of the box, I was surprised on how small they were and I thought that they were kids toys, but I was proven wrong when they worked great as I tested them. A lot of people said that the charger does not work on them, but I have found no problems at all with charging them. All you need to do is plug the charger into the wall, and there will be a split in the cord so that you can charge both at once, you so open up the little plastic cap on the top of the walkie talkie and put one of the charging cords into it. MAKE SURE IT CLICKS IN! There is a little click when you put the cord in, so make sure it clicks or else it will not charge. This might be how the other people had problems with charging, maybe they did not push the charger into the walkie talkie all the way until it clicked.
EDIT: Oh, also the battery cap is a pain and a huge design flaw because once you take it out it is almost impossible to put back in, but I will tell you how. When you go to slide the cap back in, it will not slide regularly because the teeth are laying on the bottom when the holes for the teeth are slightly elevated, and since there is a very sturdy belt clip in the way, it is impossible to slide it regularly in. What you need to do is lift the side of the cap with the teeth forcefully up until they are aligned with the holes, and then push it in. Once you get the hang of this it is very easy to put the cap back on.
