I've had 2 pairs of Motorola GRS radios and neither would receive clearly. Just enough garble to make understanding a little difficult. Both sets were medium to high medium range in price.

Can you guys make a recommendation of brand and model that you've had good luck with for clarity ?? Sure would appreciate it.

Are they both on the same frequency and sub-frequency?
 
Yes. We went thru the manuals, played with settings, double checked everything, tried both rechargeable and regular batteries, different distances and angles from the mouth, different levels of speech loudness and they *almost* worked well. Very frustrating, and I gave one pair each to 2 guys at work who had kids that would like playing with them. All they were good for - toys.

I still have a need for such a product but am unsure of what to buy, based on my previous experience.........so I come to you guys. Some one mentioned a Midland "Bubba" to me, another said they aren't very good. What do you all think ?? Thanks

I've had two different Motorola's. One set I used for a two week vacation and near the end couldn't find the charger. I used the alternate set. Both boats that were with me asked what I had done because they could hear me much better. I noticed that I could hear them a lot clearer too. The strange part is that the "old" radio's were the ones that worked better than a newer set. I think it's just the physics of the speaker/mic or maybe just the production run involved. Either way, the new set have been replaced and I only use the old set now!
 
I have a couple of Cobra's I got with expiring credit card points. They work great.
 
Test before you buy is the only way to be sure of the speaker quality prior to plunking down your hard earned money. There is no "factory quality control" any more. It is "customer quality control" so be aware of this at the time of purchase!
