Digital camera reviews of Cobra MicroTalk LI 6500-2 WX VP 20-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radio (Pair)
Digital camera Review: 20 miles???
Summary: 3 Stars
With the exception of the range reception, this is a fine radio set. They are compact, and easy to use, the vibration feature is also appreciated. The best set of four that we have used. We always find that Cobra seems better than other makes. The problem of reception was encountered on a 700 mile trip, when we were in two cars. The reception was only good for a distance up to 4 or 5 miles between the cars on an Interstate flat non mountainous highway. However in open land out in the country they seem to work fine, but we are unable to vouch for distant reception there.Digital camera Review: 20-miles? Not in the mountains

Why do these companies make claims that are just not possible?? Or, just say 20 miles ON THE BEACH? Not that I believe either....Digital camera Review: Awesome 2-way
Summary: 4 Stars
Battery lasts much longer than my old audiovox radio. The only negative I've experienced so far is you need to really press hard on the keys/buttons, other than that this is an awesome 2-way radio.Digital camera Review: Bad performance
Summary: 2 Stars
20-Mile Range is just a joke. No more than half a mile. I tested it out at different conditions(beach, forest, city, shopping mall). The best usage at shopping mall, but in this case you don't need to buy product for $60.
When you press buttom to talk, it's not ready to work immediately and people on the other side are not able to hear you.
Digital camera Review: Battery Availability Problem
Summary: 2 Stars
I am a 61 year old widow and live by myself near the Gulf coast. I purchased these radios (Mode LI6000, same battery packs) to use for communication with my "neighborhood watch group" in the event of a hurricane or severe weather. I never used the units, purchased 2 years ago, so I can't comment on their range or capability. However, I realized recently that the batteries needed replacing. It appears, from my research, that the batteries that come with these units are propriatary - only Cobra seems to stock them. It also appears that the batteries are generally "Out of Stock" with Cobra, and in stock, cost $19.95 each. So I am looking for a new set, but I will not repurchase the Cobra MicroTalk model, due to the replacement battery cost and the lack of availability.
