Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Motorola T9500XLR 25-Mile 2-Way Radio Pair
Customer Review: Great set of radios!
Summary: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I take this set with me on multiple-car road trips, hiking and camping trips. The battery life is excellent, often lasting an entire weekend's worth of use with no problems at all. I've tested the range up to about 20 miles in clear terrain. The sound is clear, delay minimal, and I've experienced little interference from other RF devices. Excellent choice in areas where cell coverage is minimal or completely non-existent.
Being able to pick up NOAA broadcasts is a good safety feature especially when camping or hiking. The radio can be a bit bulky since we are all used to internal antennas from cell phones. Getting the channel and security code set properly to get both or more radios to talk with each other can be a bit of a hassle. Overall, highly recommended.
The pros: Excellent battery life, durable, clear, NOAA weather broadcasts
The cons: Bit expensive, not the smallest set, confusing security channel system
Customer Review: Pretty good for the price

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I haven't tested these for their full 25 mile range, but they seem to work well enough around the office complex and at the park. The 2 mile range for urban areas that other reviewers have stated seems to be about right. I might have actually gotten more than two miles, but I also live in Los Angeles where we don't have very many tall buildings.
Overall, they work well enough for casual use, but I wouldn't consider them for more critical applications.
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: Worked fine

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
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.Customer Review: Lots of fun but not as long-reaching as I'd like
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought these for Christmas and they were hours of fun the entire week afterwards. the boys especially love to use them for air-soft wars because you can wear earphones with them and turn them on vibrate. The only complaint we have is that they do not seem to work long-range. We had them on vacation - took one for a drive in the car and left another at home. We lost contact in about 1/2 mile. I will say that we didn't play around with that feature too much so maybe there is something we could have done to get a longer signal - don't know. But they are great fun for "around the neighborhood!"
