Súper funcionales y muy económicosJamás se dañan

Reliable and fun! Received for me children for Christmas and they have an absolute blast with them! A great way to check in on kids on a large property.

High quality and rugged.

This is my second set of DeWalt walkie walkies in 3 days. The first set arrived in 24 hours with Amazon Prime, but when I charged them, one of the two radios began ticking and continued ticking for the duration of the charge. Afterward, that radio failed to power up. I reported the problem to Amazon, and 24 hours later I had a replacement set, both of which appear to be working normally. I will be returning the first set, postpaid.I believe the first set may have been a refurb...or return...because the batteries had already been installed in the first set, whereas I needed to install them in the second set. I have no idea how long the batteries will last on a single charge, because I've only used them once. But I'm disappointed that the only batteries that will work in these radios are DeWalt proprietary batteries, connected to the radios by very thin a wire. I would have preferred batteries with external electrodes that snap into place and that can be replaced with AAs, like my other radios.I do like the rotary on/off/volume control and the fact that you can lock the channel and privacy code settings and that the lock function persists even after the radios are turned off. My other radios cancel out the lock function every time you turn them off.Setting the channel and privacy codes are easy on these radios, and with the lock engaged all you need to do is rotate the on/off knob to turn them on. If you want to change channels, you can disengage the lock function manually.I'll write a follow-up to this review once I learn about the longevity of the battery and have had an opportunity to evaluate its waterproofness.

Very professional radios

Really great radios! In my part time job, I direct traffic for companies working along busy roads. This task takes two people so as to coordinate the movement of traffic. I use these radios for communicating with the other individual. The radios are easy to use, the communication comes across clear and the batteries last a very long time. I am very happy that I spent the money and bought good radios!

So, I bought these for my property so when I'm out working on something my wife can yell at me loud and clear. But really I'm very impressed with these I live in the mountains very hilly and covered in brush and trees I've owned a bunch and cheap ones as a kid and my dad buying the nicer ones for around the property. I remember him even getting into cb radios but nothing was a match for these hills a few miles is all we could get out of most radios and when we had the good cb radio hooked up we got a few extra.So when I got 1.4 miles out of these radios I was very impressed. Why? Let me draw you a picture. Wife's on the porch most likely holding the radio wrong pointed away from me antenna facing into the house or hill away from where I'm driving I went not just behind but over a hill behind another hill dropped off into a small valley that's a miles away from my house that's behind another hill! And we can still talk loud and clear... Remember I'm also in a car so if she was looking at me the signal would have to go through 5 mountain with zero line of sight that's over a mile away... Now after the 6 hill around 1.5 miles from my house it started getting choppy but I hit a clear spot still blocked by a mountain but the signal came through now at 1.8 miles away and she's loud and clear.... Now this part of the canyon I had to go behind another mountain and through another mountain at over 2 miles away and we hit a dead spot.. I was talking to her and at some moments I would come in clear as day but as I was driving it would quickly vanish.. So that's 7 mountain later and the radios finally give out... Call me impressed.I also had a small 3w or 5w cb radio with a upgraded antenna on the same frequency to see if I could hear her on that but it stopped picking her up at 1.5 miles.... And so I'm very glad I went with these since it struggled to keep a clearer signal then the Dewalt and they arnt as clear nore legal like the Dewalt are without a special license.As for quality I must of got the upgraded batch because mine came in with the batteries installed and the people who had issues with the unit had to install the batteries. Also the antenna feels very sturdy along with the back clip I feel it will break before that clasp fails and I don't feel it breaking anytime soon. I'm also not a fan of Dewalt I personally own several Milwaukee power tools and a couple Dewalt and Milwaukee always out last and performs them. I would even buy Roybi over Dewalt is how much I'm not a fan boy of them haha but I must give credit where credit is due.. I wasn't expecting Alot and I got way more then I could ever imagine. Alot of people don't like the battery but I'm never going to remove it unless its dead and it's supposed to have a 14 hour work life so if your on a job site spending 50 dollars a radio just buy an exstra set or two so when one dies on the field they can swap them out for a charged one. And when you notice them dieing before the days over maybe its time to change out the battery? I'm sure they'll Alot cheaper then the standard clip on kind and probably why Dewalt went this route. Personally I'd recommend these at 100 and if you don't want to wait around for a sale asking price is far for what you are getting from personally using and even having my friends tell me you'd be lucky to find a radio that will work a half miles away from home once you get behind a hill it's worthless..Overall and so far I'm very impressed and time will tell how long they will last/hold up and if something comes up that warranty doesn't cover I'll make sure to update my review but I'm very happy and plan to buy another set.
