The communication range quoted is calculated based on an unobstructed line of sight test under optimum conditions. Actual range will vary depending on terrain and conditions, and is often less than the maximum possible. Your actual range will be limited by several factors including, but not limited to: terrain, weather conditions, electromagnetic interference, and obstructions.

Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

Compact and easy to use, even for youngsters. A good choice for family outings or short distant excursions.
The battery life on the T100 has actually been pretty good. You can put in 3 AAA batteries into the radio.
They are incredibly easy to use and have a keypad lock to prevent your child from accidentally changing the settings. All you have to do is set both radios to the same channel, give one to your child, and keep the other for yourself.
One feature that sets this radio apart from the rest, is its compatibility with other radios.The walkie talkie enables you to communicate with other radios regardless of the brand. This makes it be more user-friendly.

What reviewers didn't like

Not likely to live up to 16 mile range, especially around walls and other objects.
There is one volume that you can adjust for both the tones and voices. It does not get very loud though, and it is probably not the best speaker around. Note that these will not work on a cruise ship despite a lot of amazon reviews stating that they would. It is because there is a lot of interference between cabins and magnetic walls of the ship, and the radio is not the most powerful around.
It has low mile range.
