Amazon.com Product Description
The Cobra PR170-2VP MicroTalk GMRS/FRS 2-Way Radios make it easy to stay in touch with someone, wherever you may go. This rugged pair of radios is an outdoorsman's best friend, with plenty of range, features, and power to make sure that you don't get separated from the rest of your party in any terrain. The PR170-2VP MicroTalk radios use the UHF/FM band for ultra-clear, long-distance reception with an extended range capability that reaches up to eight miles, depending upon the terrain. These units feature an easy-to-view LCD display that provides the radio's status at a glance, an easily recognizable call alert that notifies you of an incoming call, and a confirmation roger-beep tone that indicates the completion of the other user's transmission so you know when it is ok to talk. These radios also feature an auto squelch that shuts off weak transmissions or unwanted noise due to terrain or range constraints, as well as a keystroke tone signal that confirms key activation. The Cobra PR170-2VP radios provide seven GMRS/FRS, seven FRS and eight GMRS channels for a total of 22 channels, all of which are easily accessed via the front panel's push buttons. When combined with the units' 38 privacy codes, users have a choice of up to 836 sub-channels to ensure privacy. These radios are built with a unique circuit that automatically switches to battery-saver mode if there are no transmissions within 10 seconds, thereby extending the battery life, and come with a belt clip to secure your MicroTalk while you are on the go. The PR170-2VPs run on three AAA rechargeable batteries (included) each, and come with an AC wall charger with a handy Y plug that allows you to recharge the batteries in both radios at once. Each radio has a built-in speaker/microphone/charger jack that lets you not only recharge batteries while in the unit, but use earphone speaker/microphone combinations for hands-free operation. The Cobra PR170-2VP MicroTalk Radios weigh only 2.22 ounces (without batteries), measure 2 x 5.02 x 1.54 inches (W x H x D), and are backed by a manufacturer's one-year warranty. What's in the Box
Two PR170-2VP MicroTalk radios, wall charger with Y plug, six AAA rechargeable batteries, user's guide and warranty information.

There is no way these 2 way radios will carry 8 miles, I went less than a mile and could not hear the other person. As for a toy for the grandkids they work just get. They use them around the house. They work great. I went to order another set for the other grandkids and now they are unavailable.
 Good value for size! May 5, 2008

I purchased these a month ago, and contrary to other reviews, have not had any problems with them (including battery life)! They don't have all the features of the larger ones, but for their size, I feel that the quality and basic features are very good.
I love how they come with a dual charger, and I especially like the single rechargable Ni-Cd AAA batteries included, instead of a pack, so you can replace them at any time with others!
I would recommend these to other buyers!

I bought these for my kids instead of one of the flimsy toy walkie-talkies. They absolutely love them. They may not have the range of some of the higher priced models, but who cares? They work MUCH better than the toys, the price is right, they're compact and well-designed, and they look and feel like the real deal (a big plus for the 6-8 year old set). If you're looking to buy your kids some walkie-talkies, you can't go wrong with these.

Cobra PR170-2VP MicroTalk GMRS/FRS 2-Way Radios, 8-Mile
Got mine in the mail about a week and a half after I ordered them. Good for close distance but I was lucky to get 8 blocks without them cutting out. Great for children in really small neighborhoods, but other than that, I would NOT recomend these for any other type of business/entertainment.
