2-Way Radios Gear Reviews

by Editors of Field and Stream
Our AssessmentThe editors of this outdoors magazine include reports on two-way radios among their reviews of other outdoor gear. Though the reviews are short, they appear to be based on hands-on testing, and a rating is provided. High points and low points are specifically called out. Though it looks like it's been a while since a two-way radio has been reviewed, several of the models covered here remain current.
Product Reviews

by Contributors to TwoWayRadioForum.com
Our AssessmentThis user forum features many two-way radio and accessory reviews. One reviewer in particular, a moderator who goes by "jwilkers," says many detailed reviews that make it clear some hands-on testing was conducted. Other contributors also comment on radios, but the quality of those reviews varies. This forum offers more useful information about two-way radios than other user-review sites, such as Amazon.com, but fewer models are discussed and rated. Except for one review that's not terribly helpful, the latest reviews are from 2010, though many of the discussed models are still available.
