Affordable communications, easy operation, outstanding vendor support.,
We currently use three of these handheld units and plan to purchase a fourth. Here in rural southwestern Ohio, where there are lots of hills and woods, the 1 watt output of these radios provide a one mile range reliably. While traveling in convoy on long and unobstructed stretches of highway, the range is greater. They are used infrequently and have provided communications for five weekend long events over the past two months. For well under one hundred dollars, I did not expect much. These units exceeded my expectations.
While the manual that comes with the radio is not very detailed, vender support is outstanding. I had a question regarding charging the batteries and received a reply within one business day. They recommended charging for 24 hours when new or totally depleted and overnight for normal daily use. These radios use commonly available rechargeable AA batteries and not the expensive type found on many amateur and commercial handheld radios. In other words, no special order for replacement rechargeable batteries. Also, at need, regular alkaline batteries may be used. (Attempting to charge the alkaline type batteries will damage the unit) The rechargeable batteries supplied work surprisingly well. We keep our transmissions short and to the point and regularly operate for two days and more per charge, especially if we turn them off for the night. These radios are extremely easy on the batteries while receiving and only draw the batteries down appreciably while transmitting.
I hope to acquire the matching Dakota Alert MURS transmitters to provide wireless and portable security at remote locations. Allowing us to monitor the area around the vehicles or camp while in the woods etc.
These radios are not water resistant nor do they provide military grade shock resistance. These radios are not “industrial strength”, but neither is the price. They do provide all five of the unlicensed MURS frequencies while many others only provide one or two operating frequencies. They are affordably priced with great customer support from the vendor, Home Controls / Home Security 4 Less. In summary, good value for the money.

|Mediocre, at best,
While researching MURS radios a few years ago, I bought a variety of models, including a pair of these since they had just come onto the market relatively recently.
What really irked me the most was that the radio comes with 6 AA NiMH batteries, but they’re bottom-of-the-barrel quality batteries (1600mAh?). They don’t hold a charge. They get super hot in most rapid chargers. And with the built-in charger, they take forever to charge. (12 hours?)
The antenna is detachable, but I’m not sure what kind of replacement you can use with it. The volume control was decent, but everything else about the radio felt kinda shoddy. Even the transmit range of this radio vs. the other MURS radios I have is much worse.
The radio hasn’t fallen apart on me and it’s generally usable, so I can’t give it only 1 star. So 2 stars it is.

|Good Range,
This thing get’s very good range. I’ve received the alarm and the base station up to 3/4 mile consistently and often much further.
