20 Mile Range? More like 0.2 miles, 2008-12-29 Bought a set for my two boys so we can stay in touch when they visit their friends around the neighborhood. I was expecting to get close to 20 miles range as advertised on the box but when I took it out for a range test the same day I lost signal after less than 1/2 a mile. Beyond this point all you hear is static. Ran thru various configurations on the units to ensure I'm using high-power channels and have full battery charge but it made no difference. The 20 miles range is probably describing a two-way talk across a flat dessert or on the beach. If you plan to use it in a typical suburb don't expect to hear anything beyond half a mile. If you're in the city you will be lucky if you hear anything beyond the city block. Contacting manufacturer for a refund.
