    Was looking at them a few years back.
    Sounded like their claims might have been a bit dubious so never bought (1 mile range? Not in the terrain I was thinking of using them in). Also as I recall, they only worked for texting and not for voice.
    But, I'm curious to see what you find out.

    @Altoidfishfins Their cellphone app has a “Push to Talk” button on it, now, so verbal Comms are now on the table… I will let you know what I find out from a chat with the OEMs, tomorrow, on updates since I chatted with them last…
