I had three motorolla radios, but two broke. I bought these over the motorolla because of the mounting loop. I used them sking, worked great (good range, sounds good), batteries lasted all day (after charging initially for 16 hours per the instructions). Having them tied off using the loop was great no worry about dropping or losing them. Super fast shipping from amazon, great deal.Best Deals for Uniden GMR2240-2CK Water Resistant 2-Way Radios (Discontinued
works good and very durable. but apparently battery life is bad in cold weather, which ruins why i got them (snowboarding). the meter drops to the half notch immediately even when fully charged when you hit freezing weather.they still work though and work fine, but it becomes hit or miss. i still used them on the slopes and they lasted all day (all day on the slopes for me is just a message here and there ever half hour or so when people get split up, so no real intenstive conversations). but i have had periods where they ended up shutting off by the end of the day.
i should have known that though knowing its nimh batteries, but oh wells, so not the fault of the radio or manufacturer. sound is great, reception is great, and didn't have a problem on large mountains in high power mode.
but i guess these will become warm weather driving or hiking radios, and i will still have to pick up a set of li-ion radios for snowboarding.

Raising my review to 4 stars, since i used these for camping and they worked great, and realized the nimh cold battery issue wasn't the product's fault. Still a little large, and prefer smaller cobras with lithium batteries instead.
