Can anyone tell me if you get reasonable range off-road, in the woods? Thinking of using these on trail rides.

Last year we went for a bike ride through mountains, as long as the units stayed with in line of sight and not more than 150 yards away it worked great.

I have had my unit for about 6 months now and it has yet to fail on a continuous use basis. I have been able to accept sync ups from other brands and as long as were within 800 feet of each other it works well. I am unsure about off road usage as I am a highway man however a fellow rider that rides off-road does in fact have the same unit cites that he has little issues. Depending on the terrain and distance were the only two reported issues. otherwise, money and effort well spent. If there is concern of clarity of transmission and microphone, I've been impressed. It does offer background noise suppression, and I just received the newest update and I have noticed a small improvement in connectivity to other units. (Not sure if it was supposed to happen but I synced up with a DPS officer. Ticket avoided!!)

In a field probably. In a forest, I highly doubt it. They are great binocs but BIG and I think there are better devices for that kind of yardage. However trying them out for the money woulnt be bad as if you couldn't really use em for that, there would be other uses for them. I really like mine.

I have had them up to 300 yards from the base and they worked fine. We have hilly property, about 80 ft elevation difference at that distance.

Loud enough where I can here them five or six feet away if they are up too loud. Then I tell my husband he has them too loud, turn them down. I cannot give you decibles but the range goes from hardly able to hear to very loud. The batteries dont last too long for us though. We use rechargeables.

These would be great for up close. Throw a very wide beam. However the range is probably 100-150 feet. If you are a crawler they would work be great nothing in that range would be out of sight. If you want some distance they make Spotlight versions of these. I have some of the round ones and they shine a good ways down the road. I put them on my 4 wheeler.

If you have a Ham license, you know they are line of sight. Mine will easily go 100 miles if I'm hitting someone or a repeater on a mountain top. They are 5 watts and they behave like any other 5 watt radio. I have a 50 watt transmitter I can hook it up to in the car. They are great radios.

I just use mine for off-roading/camping and they seem to hold up very well, I would definitely recommend them. I haven't left them in the sun so I'm not sure if they fade.

These are relatively low power 2 way hand help radios. I get less than 5 watts out of them even on high power. They work well in conditions where there is direct line of sight between the two radios, or through a repeater. I have not tried them in mountainous terrain but in the city I have used them and had what I would call poor results over less than a mile without a repeater.

I don't recommend for long ranges; used them once and they died (and it wasn't the batteries).

I wouldn't hesitate to use them in that environment...I use mine as an all purpose wildlife observation tool and an aid in identifying game that comes out in the fields next door some 430 yards down range...

You cannot zoom. You really don't need to. I have used it to spot deer in a field at a little over 100 yards. That would be it's max range. I have ridden night trails for a solid hour with no problems. That is as long as I have tested it.

I have densely wooded areas around my house as well that are within the roaming area and I have had no issues whatsoever. We have our monitor set up on the second floor of our house on an outside wall and it seems to have a really good, fairly consistent range that does not break when our dogs head into the woods. They have tested the boundary along every square inch of the 300 foot radius we set up and we've had no issues.

I've used them at an outdoor pistol match, when it started raining on us. Not a torrential down pour but wet. They worked fine. The battery life isn't the greatest however, and a pain to change. So.... All day in a deer stand? Not sure.

Hi, thanks for your inquiry. As it states in the listing " OFF ROAD USE". However you can use them, but please be aware that they might not comply with your local laws. Please check with your jurisdiction and make your choice accordingly. "

I use my Puxing radio in a location that is mountainous and heavily wooded. At times I have a range of about 5- 10miles. So, the range is dependent upon the terrain.

I've used them at the 50 yd distance at my local gun club with my .22lr rifle with 4 x 20 scope. Works fine. I haven't tried them at any longer distances but even at 75 yds. should be ok.

I've had mine about a month now and I've used them for at least 20-30 hours while in the backyard on battery power. The sound is good, the range I am using is about 50 feet with minimal attenuating materials between (walls, doors, etc). I'm not sure how long the batteries will last. You can probably do the calculations based on average current draw and the capacity of C sized cells.
