My wife received these radios as a gift and we promptly used them in Glacier National Park. We only charged them up overnight, not the 24 hours recommended. Regardless, they lasted about two days which may be symptomatic because of the short charging time. As for their range, 2 couples were hiking and we were separated at some times by distance or terrain. The radio transmission was clear, the units easy to use, and easy to setup. The two power levels are tied to the particular channel selected by the user. When you select the channel, be sure to read the manual or you may have a visit from the FCC as a few of the channels require a radio license. One other thing is that the radios will automatically shut off if the batteries are too low. My recommendation is that if you are going to be on the trail for several days, have 4 AAA batteries as a backup. The weather radio function is a nice touch.

These radios are great but they (in NO way whatsoever) will broadcast or recieve radio transmissions from anything more than maybe 5 miles away if you're lucky (they didn't even come close to that when a friend and I tested this). Otherwise, they are decent (a little on the larger size but decent).The radios do, however, feature a great function that allows you to monitor two channels at the same time... so you can monitor what the enemy has to say as well as what your team has to say... just gotta figure out their channels LOL!
