The Audiovox 2-Way radio appears to have excellent range and audio quality. It is very slim and compact, which makes it light and easy to wear on a belt, or to put in a purse for a woman. The fact that it has the ability to use subchannels means that there is little chance of transmissions from others coming through on the radio so that it is silent except for when someone who has your same channel set up wishes to call you. The compact design of radio is excellent.

I bought this radios with great expectations. The small size and big range were very appealing.
First, the sound quality was terrible; you could barely understand person on the "other" side. It was worse when compared side by side with a radio from a popular brand.
Then (right after the warranty expired, ofcourse) one of the two radios gave up. I called Audiovox for service and the cost of repair was about 70% of the cost of the new one. They were both thrown away.
I gave one extra star, just because I still believe that the concept of slim radios is worth pursuing.
