Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Motorola T9500XLR 25-Mile 2-Way Radio Pair
Customer Review: Cut down cell phone Bill
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
It's great to see a package complete with charger/adapter, rechargeable batteries (if the recargeable batteries die out one day, you can also use AA rechargeable batteries), changeable face plates and belt clip. I can talk to my wife while next block for free. Reception and voice is clear. The minus side is the size and mass, less comfortable for females. The antenna is rather big.
Will update when I got my results on long range communication.
Customer Review: Actual tested range: Approximately .7 miles

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This is the first pair of two-way radios I have used.
They work very well, voice is clear.
I tested the range of these units by driving away from the other user, we kept talking until the signal began to break up, which was about .7 miles. Your mileage may vary.
This was over relatively hilly terrain with quite a few trees.
These units have connectors for a headset and also have voice activation.
Customer Review: Great brand, (Motorola) but record of problems.
Summary: 2 Stars
This radio has adequate power and the audio to get out. I highly recommend radios will good power like these for the outdoors, rather than weak .5 watt FRS radios. I found them larger than many in this class, and a bit under powered at only 2 watts max, but OK.
However, it should be noted that this walkie talkie tends to show up in the "remanufactured" sale list quite often. I suspect this as something to do with the audio problems that others have commented on, or it could be something else. If lots get returned and resold, it usually means something is systemically wrong with the design or manufacturing process. In any case, buy with caution.
Customer Review: Don't Buy These
Summary: 1 Stars
We use 6 - 8 handheld radios at our business to communicate across multiple floors and buildings. We have gone through two generations of Motorola Talkabouts, with this line being the third. These are the worst of them all. The last generation of blue and black ones was fairly bad, with several ceasing to work within days of purchase, and so we thought we would upgrade to the next model up. Of the 6 we purchased, 5 did not have adequate sound transmission - cutting off at the beginning and end of transmission or not working at all. These are junk, don't waste your money! (My one star is because they are attractive to look at.)Customer Review: Worked fine

Despite the problems some other reviewers have reported, I haven't seen them myself. The radios could be more durable, but for the money they seem like a good value. Some friends of mine recently took them beach camping and said they had no trouble with the signal, though the users were never more than a few miles away from each other. The kids liked the interchangeable covers.
