Title: Worked... but barely
Product review: Poor. I bought a pair of these units for a 4 month motorcycle trip in Indochina (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos).As most others have noted, the actual use of functions is awkward, and requires constant reference to the manual to figure out how many times to push each button and for how long.Range was fairly pathetic; I'd say 250 metres was about the best we achieved even with direct line-of-sight.Each day seemed to bring a new idiosyncrasy out of one of the units. Battery life wildly varied with each set of batteries, range seemed to drop to about 10 metres sometimes even with fresh batteries, and frequently the units refused to even switch on or broadcast properly.Eventually we binned them out of sheer frustration, which was a shame since it really was fantastic to be able to communicate when things were (on the very rare occasion) working correctly.Next time I'll invest the money for a decent set that I can get proper usage out of.
