Seemed like good cheap entertainment for the kids. I should've known better with a Walmart brickseek deal. My store showed 10+ in stock. 30 mins of my life I'll never get back.
No way in hell these have 16 mile range even in a wide open salt flat in Utah.
That's because the heat degrades the signal and causes interference. Especially in Hell, but also in Utah. With the satellite dish attachment, you can clearly get 16 miles.

Great for camping with friends, or for us, Camper trailer backing. One person outside guiding the driver. These are a huge benefit for backing up an RV or camper trailer. Also two or more car caravans on the road, for kids during road trips... lots of uses
OK, what are these good for? In case of emergency I'm guessing where communication is knocked out?
(Asking from a city guy perspective)
Another couple of uses:
-theme parks, city parks, events, etc where some of your party may separate but still be relatively close
-communicating between multiple cars traveling together. I know someone is going to say "why not use a cell phone" but when a quick turn is needed, that 45-60 seconds to dial / connect is WAY too long.
I use them frequently when attending to my 5 acres of grass, I'd much rather damage a 2 way radio than my cell phone.
