Motorola T9500XLR 25-Mile Two-Way Radios

This was a real bad decision. When people say it all in the name, they don't mean Motorola T9500R

Great price and loaded with man features.
Hard to imagine not going with Motorola.

These radio's are the worst! You cannot hear anything. It does not matter if you are 5 feet away from the other person or 100 feet. They look nice but that about covers it. I have no idea why they are still being sold and have not had a recall.
On the up side. I called Motorola and they are aware of the problem. They are sending me new ones and a different "better model". They are also sending me return postage so I can send them these awful things back.
I will let you know how the new ones are.

Purchased two twin packs of the T9500R radio and the sound quality is so poor they're absolutely useless for transmitting. I can hear other radios well enough but any transmit attempts are not understood by other radios.

Do not purchase!!

I bought these because the MINI club I drive with use 2-way radios for communication.

The came with headsets, and either with or without them it was almost impossible to hear what people were saying. Range was poor, too.

Save your money and buy something cheaper. These just don't live up to their claims.
