Promotion TriSquare eXRS TSX300-2VP 900MHz FHSS Digital Two-Way Radio (Charcoal Metallic/Black) (Pair)

Over All Rating Reviews :

We recently bought 4 of these TSX-300 units for use on our family ski trip. I was primarily persuaded to buy these by another review about trying to find channels not used by other skiers -- as in, maybe you don't want your kids being "educated" on the perspectives of some other 16 year-old kid. If you like the privacy idea and don't need to talk to friends who have other radios, these units are perfect.

A second feature that comes with these, but not the lower end TSX-100 units, is the text messaging. It may seem like kind of a silly concept. However, if you are skiing, it is not always convenient to talk. If you are trying to raise your buddy on the radio, and he is in teh midst of staying alive and doging trees, it would be nice to leave him a message. The text messaging allows you to do just that. The only thing to keep in mind is that the delivery of your text message is not guaranteed, so you need to be fairly certain that your buddy is in range.

In terms of range, as some other reviewers have noted, the range is just under 1/2 mile in a typical neighborhood with houses and trees. Our neighborhood is pretty flat. We did experience a range of a mile if we were on top of the sledding hill at the other end of the neighborhood. At the ski resort, they worked all over the mountain. In addition, we could be skiing on the mountain and actually reach someone in our lodge room, which was located about 3 blocks from the base of the mountain.

One last point is that we had trouble with one of our radios about a week after we bought the two sets. It stopped receiving and transmitting. I contacted customer service through the email on the TriSquare web site excatly 7 days before flying out for skiing. They emailed me right back and got me a replacement unit, which worked splendidly. That is the only issue we have had with the units and we used them a lot skiing.
