What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Range figures are not consistent: the details list a 3 Kilometer maximum, while the feature text states 0.7-1.4 mile in urban areas and 2.7 mile in open areas. Battery-life and physical-size claims also vary across listing sections: 10 Hours is listed alongside 1100mAh batteries, and dimensions and weight differ between details and the technical description. Treat these as unconfirmed listing specifications rather than settled performance figures, and confirm the selected listing details if they affect your purchase. The listed 16 channels and DCS/CTCSS codes do not establish private or encrypted communications.
