Cobra MicroTalk PR 260-2 WX VP 12-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Review

Customer Ratings:

These were rated for 12miles and if you've ever done any research on these type of 2-way radios...regardless of the rating, if you're able to get a 1 mile range from them, you're a lucky few. I fully expected that disappointment. However, what I did not expect was that the rechargeable batteries that it came with were aweful. On a full charge, it barely lasted a trip to the mall on less than mild usage. Btw...there is no indicator to say if it is fully charged. I charged it for the recommended 10 hrs. Anyway...I had another pair of refurb Uniden that I got for almost nothing...that pair was just as good, if not better than this one which I paid $45 including shipping. Not a recommendation.

In my opinion the 260's are a great buy. I love mine, my wife and I use them all the time. The range that we have tryed so far is 1 mile in house and up the road they did fine no loss of reception the best feature of the cobras is the hands free talking I just love it I can work on a power panel and talk to someone at the circuit. I am an electrician by trade. The are lite and compact and they did not cost a arm and a leg. I think there the best deal for the money out there!

My needs were pretty close, about 1 mile. We were shuttling people, using 4 radios. Clarity was good, having to switch channels occassionally. Easy to use. We use for 6 hours at a time. In the future, I will carry spare disposable AA batteries if the rechargeable batteries lose charge.

I was sent a charger meant for someone else for their Samsung phone. When I emailed support to return it and get the correct charger, I was told they just sent the wrong packing slip even though I told them the product numbers matched on both the packing slip and the item. Tried again and was told the charger was computable with my phone. They did not want to take the charger back. Finally sent me a return address, but told me I would be responsible for postage. I would rate this reseller a zero (0) but the ratings will not go that low. I will never do business with this reseller again.

Review of Motorola T5410 Talkabout FRS Two-Way Radio

Customer Ratings:

I love taking my family on winter and ski vacations. I also love going to different and remote ski resorts. I found myself booking a vacation in Eden, Utah which is town just minutes away from a true skiing paradise... Powder Mountain. The only thing that I don't like about this beautiful mountain resort is the lack of any reliable cellular service. That forced me to purchase a bunch of walkie talkies to help my family stay connected. The Motorola T5410 proved to be a good choice. It is compact, light, low cost, and reliable. It does lack some of the features of my more expensive Midland walkie talkies, but makes up for it by being simpler to operate and lighter in weight. I was able to use the Motorola all over the mountain and the sound quality remained way above average. All in all, this is a good quality walkie talkie with a fair price that also performs well in real world situations.

So if you are looking for one to use in your car, for the Droid X, like myself, then this one is not for you. Don't waste your money on this and look for others. Read my other reviews then you would see what I mean.

Cheap Wakawaka Solar Lamp

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $49.00
Sale Price: $27.99

I received one of the first units off the production line and I love this light. Out of the box the light was ready to go to work after having been in the box for who knows how long. I have had many camping lamps, kerosene, battery and other solar lamps but this one is really compact and powerful. The design makes it easy to bring these lamps on camping trips because they are so compact and lightweight. The kids love it because they can use it as a powerful flashlight when they are out walking in the dark or hang it in their tent or on the table to read or do their chores. The first week we did a test of the claim that the light will last 8 hours on a single days charge. We placed the lamp in the window at 6:00am and began use at 8:00pm. We left the light on the reading lamp level. At 6:00am I awoke to find the lamp still shining bright. I have had lamps with batteries die after a couple of hours and other solar lamps last maybe four hours. This light has successfully survived two canoe trips and a backpack hike into Yosemite and lit the way every night, without fail, delivering great light!

The most attractive feature of the WakaWaka light is the fact that for everyone that makes a purchase, the WakaWaka foundation subsidizes a light for one of the 1.5 BILLION people around the world that live in the dark! While my family and I are enjoying a camping vacation, I know we played a significant role in improving the lives of a family somewhere around the world. I am told they are going to start publishing the effect the American and Canadian consumer has on lighting the world as a result of purchasing these WakaWaka's. I hope they sell a million this year.

Great light and a greater cause.

First, I must say I had great doubt about this product since most of the reviews here are from people who received it for product review vs those who actually purchase it to use on a daily basis. Also, if you purchase it directly from the wakawaka 4light. com, it is only $60 for 2 grey ones with free shipping within the US.

I have quite a few solar gadgets all around my house. This is the best solar light currently in the market mainly due to its brightness and duration. I used to like the d.light S10 and S1 until the WakaWaka came out last year. The WakaWaka has 2 LED's instead of one like the S1 and S10. I have 4 WakaWaka lights on every night in those 3 rooms that I spend mostly in at light and I hardly even have to turn on any light. If you shine it on a white wall, the whole room just lights up. It is great bright ambient light.

According to their website, the internal battery should last about 3 years for daily use. Hope this helps.

I consider myself a creative person with an eye for fashion and design. When I first saw the WakaWaka light I was very excited by the design and hoped that the light would be powerful enough to light a tent, dinner table and use for ambient lighting. I recently received one of the lights and they have exceeded my expectations. The unit is lightweight but solid in construction. The first thing I did was take the light out of the box, go into the darkened garage and see how bright this light really was. WOW, was my first reaction. When you click the button once, it gives you the 200% level lighting which is a very bright white light. It lit up the entire garage.

On the second click we had the reading light setting. I set the Waka up on a wine bottle (works great) and it produces great reading light perfect for preparing meals when camping or as an enhanced light on my husband's workbench where there are dark area. Everyone I have shared this light with loves the light and the compact design. I will be taking on a camping trip next week and will be using constantly. I will let you know how it performs in the wild.

Lastly, I love that one light purchase helps a family around the world get a reduced cost WakaWaka light. I know Americans will step up, as we always have, and become the world leader in helping families with children get out of the darkness around the world. On their site () they mention the world bank information related to the effect of solar lamps on education...In Abu Hasheem in South Sudan the World Bank researched the impact of solar LED lighting on the pass rate for students. With kerosene lamps this was a mere 57%. Two years after introduction of the solar lamps the pass rate reached 100%. The average school grade rose from `unsatisfactory' with 35% to `above average'.

I am so glad to get a product that has over delivered on the promise.

Honest reviews on Wakawaka Solar Lamp

This is really a good product and I truly appreciate the goals of the company. I think everyone should own one for those emergencies that come up every now and again... plus obviously camping etc. I was really impressed with the light pattern and it was obviously designed to illuminate a small room with a flood pattern, rather than a spotlight effect.

However, I decided to knock a point off because I think it could be further improved:

* The case is a little plasticky and cheap feeling with the top seam in particular quite toy-like. The instructions state that it shouldn't be dropped and I would think a drop on concrete may damage the case? I would like to see a rubberized case like some tough external hard-drives have for durability, so there is no chance of damage from a drop. I think the solar panel would also be better protected if it was sunk into the case a little, rather than being flush mounted. I really think a universal product like this should be pretty much bullet proof, especially for the intended common use in the third world countries.

* I think the instructions are poor. I understand they are designed for Global use without language, but I found them non-intuitive. There are no directions on the units state of charge... there is a little flashing LED on the top that the instructions do not mention. It appears to change its pattern or frequency while charging... it would be nice to know exactly what this means?

* I think the unit needs to be much cheaper for Global distribution. In the US, the fact that its made abroad and is subject to exchange rates etc, probably raises its price? However, I'm hoping that folks buying in the US are simply subsidizing its price so it can be offered in poorer countries for substantially less. I'm insinuating its quite pricey for what it is, because we are so used to dirt-cheap products like this from China... however, I'm certainly not equating this product with one of those, its superior and works well. Global distribution at a lower price should be the goal I feel, and then many households would own several of these.

So, a nice product from an admirable company, but there's still room for improvement methinks.

My brother gave me this for Father's Day. I totally forgot to charge it and on the fifth night as we were leaving it still worked great. Packed up everything and took off. 3 hour drive home and my Waka was still illuminating the trunk. Hahahaha Ooops =) Quite a light. Highly recommend. 5 stars +

Best Deals for Kodak Rapid Car Charger K700-C+2 - Battery charger - car 2 x AA

Received this model car charger as a gift along with a wall charger, case & Kodak camera. Unfortunately I had assumed it would work like the other items which did work, but when I finally needed this item on a trip it did not work at all. It has a 1 year warranty & I was able to get the sales receipt & have all the original packaging...but what Kodak does not tell you is they honor the warranty only if you mail it all back in at your own expense. For an item which costs under $10 it hardly seems fair with gas & postage prices the consumer should have to pay all the costs to ship a brand new defective item back to a company. Purchased from a mortar store I have been unable to find this item in my area stores so I would be able to return it with out having to shell almost what it is worth to ship back & though I have repeatedly requested Kodak to send me a return shipping label it's been to no avail. Nope...though not stated in the warranty I am told "I must shoulder the shipping & handling costs!" Guess the "valued" customer is just out of luck! The store it was purchased from no longer carries it (might it be because there were too many problems with the quality??) & told me to directly contact Kodak for service. I am afraid I am old enough to remember real customer service provided by companies... including return shipping labels for defective products ...so for me Kodak's "customer service" has a lot to be desired and I certainly have recommended to family & friends that their products no longer be purchased. I myself am tired of companies who make promises & are more than willing to take your $$, but then after the sale are not willing to stand whole heartedly behind their products! Certainly a customer should not have to dig in his pocketbook to have a brand new item fixed or replaced when defective! E-mailing brought cookie cutter responses & when this was pointed out to a CS rep by phone, they could of cared less. I know I will be wary in the future to purchase any product associated with Kodak....funny how Kodak is willing to lose trust in their reputation & future sales over a low $ item...so much for service! You would think in the current economic climate, with consumers making fewer luxury item purchases, big companies such as Kodak would be much more concerned about how their customer is treated & views the company. It's not that I can't afford it...for me it's totally the principle of having to pay to ship a brand new unused defective item back which sells for only a bit more than what it would cost to ship!

This radio has the solid quality that you expect when you buy a Motorola Business Radio with more flexibility at the user level than Mot has offered in the past. I ordered the radio with GMRS and Amateur frequencies programmed into it. With the FREE software from Motorola's website, I can select which 16 of 99 frequencies I want to use, I can change the CTCSS codes, and save different configurations. Since it can be programmed to work with repeaters, it is perfect for the 'ham' and GMRS repeaters while offering MUCH more reliable radio operation than the typical consumer radios offer. You get what you pay for...no excuses.

Honest reviews on Motorola On-Site RDU4160d 16-Channel UHF Water-Resistant Two-Way

This is a great radio for GMRS. All you have to do is contact Motorola and send them your frequency list and your license and they will send you the code plug. Buy the programming cable and download the free software from their website. You can set this radio up to use GMRS repeaters. Once you load the radio with your frequencies you can change the PL Codes from the front radio just like a bubblepack radio so you can use differnt repeaters that use the same frequency pair. Or you can just do it all from the software. The speaker is supper loud and clear for its size. Even if you turn it up all the way it's still clear. I was very impressed with its clarity. The mic is clear also and can be adjusted to three differnt mic gain levels. You can switch from repeater to direct easily by programming one of the buttons on the radio to do that. You can switch it from high to low power to conserve power. You can also set a scramle mode so that only other radios set to that same scramble code will here you. This radio comes with a high capacity Lithium Ion battery 2400 milliamps. I bought the rapid rate charger because it only comes with the slow charger.

I ordered this product for emergency purposes for our family.

Unfortunately, after multiple calls with Motorola and the FCC, the FCC says that this radio can only be used with a business license, and for business purposes. That means it's a complete no go for personal use (even if you are a business).

The FCC also noted that the information in the Motorola manual was incorrect wrt licensing: You cannot apply directly for a license, but instead need to work through an aggregator to purchase a license.

I've known Pyramid Car Audio products for decades (sold a lot of their car head units and their CBs and using their 15-inch subwoofers in the Reference Audio System.

In the past, they've always been great values!

Although, I've got a professional version of this Pyramid product, I decided that it was too big for where I needed one. So, I did some research and felt that this Pyramid product should be outstanding.

Once I got it, I put it one my testing bench (yes, I've got a professional one that can accurately test almost any audio product it's a modified McIntosh one) to find that it was performing very well.

Even though, I added small value polystyrene caps to the large filtering ones to smooth out any minute ripples.

I'm not sure if it needed them, but it made me feel better to have added them.
