SAMCOM FPCN10A Two Way Radio Heavy-Duty with Earpiece Charger Base 2 Packs | UHF Radios Professional Programmable Commercial Heavy Duty Group Talk Strong Signal 3000mAh Rechargeable for Church School

The Radios at first did not work for our range and distance so I tried to get UPS to pick up the order with no success. The seller was great and gave me a refund then he helped me to use the radios in the proper way. So they do work properly with ease. The battery life is about 72 hours before I needed to get put it on the charger. Thank you to the seller for assisting me!

I work for a construction company that does concrete demolition with water. The team I am part of used cell phones to communicate when the pumps needed to be turned on or shut down, which was a huge hassle, and could take too long (in case of an emergency). I had a set of these radios that I took on a camping trip a while back, and I loved how easy they were to use, and the fact that they could take a beating. Sound quality is good, our work environment is very loud and you can hear them, and those who couldn’t could use the included earpiece. Battery life is awesome, we have some guys who would forget to charge them for days, yet it was never a problem. As for water resistance, they are indeed water RESISTANT. You cannot submerge these or hit them with high pressure water jets, but I dropped mine in a puddle and simply dried it off (remove the battery and make sure the battery / contacts are dry), and didn’t have any issues. I only wish you could purchase single radios, being as we occasionally have new team members who need one. A great quality product, I can honestly say I’ll continue to use Samcom products so long as the quality stays the same.

Just so you know; this is not a civilian walkie talkie. You will need to file paper work if you're going to use it as such with the government. I did not know that when I bought it. It works great in the woods but obviously the range is significantly reduced.

Wanted these for those trips in the woods with 4wheeling. They are okay. Good quality solid built. Range is not the greatest. I don't think you'll find talkies with range greater than a mile here in Amazon. In the city I'll get a range of .25 mi. in the woods more or less .5 mi perfect for construction site though.

order 15 of these radios , use them for a couple weeks without a problem , second week one of them stop working for no reason try different battery same result , not working call customer service to return the bad radio and get a replacement and they refuse to do it, the only option they give me was to return the whole order , so that is what i did , STAY OUT OF THESE BRAND !!! I'm getting another more expensive renowned brand because i need these radios for our daily operation on a big warehouse is better to pay more money and avoid these issues , going with Motorola !!

Updated**** A couple of months in and I am still very satisfied with these radios, however, 2 of the nine have stopped working. They will not power on and I have swapped batteries to confirm the it's not a battery issue. Will try and remedy with samcon but now holding my breath. Original review *** I was on the fence between these and the 5W FPCN30As for my application; however, the 2W FPCN10A has worked well. Even when I am -60 in elevation from my house in a heavily wooded area and behind hills and tucked in by a good cliff, I still have a clear signal without having a line of sight. The longest test in these conditions was 1000 yards. These are great radios for what I am using them for.

Love the radio BUT..2 of the 3 chargers have quit working

My Maxon gmrs 210radios needed new batteries after 20 plus years, decided to replace them with this radio. Very happy with the Samcom radio lineup, the distance, sound and functionality works well for my occasional use. Pros are this radio is compact and well built and surprisingly inexpensive. The display is nice and bright and I don’t like that the frequency is not displayed (only a channel number) versus the other Samcon radios that I own that display a TX and RX frequency number. I did remove the low power FRS frequencies from the radio and only kept the 5 and 50 watt frequencies. Cons, the software for programming the radios is limited. The software works well at connecting to the radio with a kenwood style cable. I don’t like that I can’t program parameters like squelch and power to individual Frequencies as this feature in the software is global to all 20 frequencies. I still don’t understand the power selection there are three levels to choose from one being selectable big / low but no ability on the radio to change the selection. Overall I am getting a good distance and overall performance with this low cost set of radios. Good buy for a nice set of radios.
