DEWALT DXFRS800 FRS Walkie Talkies, Long Range 2 Way Radio, 2W, IP67 Waterproof, 6 Pack with Gang Charger, DXFRS800-BCH6

UPDATE TO REVIEW OCTOBER 2023 I got an amazing email from DeWalt along with a phone number for a lady to call about the issue. Today, I came home to find a package on my front porch I wasn't expecting. See video.... They went above and beyond in troubleshooting my issue and asked for me to send the radios back on their FedEx account so they can send them back to the manufacturing plant for diagnosis. You really can't ask much better than that level of customer support! Thanks again for being Awesome Dewalt! UPDATE TO REVIEW AUGUST 2023 The new version of these radios has a USB-C charging connector. That's pretty awesome. Unfortunately they also come with a new glitch. After 9 months, three of the four units are having the same issue (see video above). After 9 months of intermittent use, we're using these on a job site daily. We're low voltage engineers - not masonry contractors, so they're not being beaten up or abused. Three of the four we purchased (75%) are having a problem where the speaker just sounds so incredibly "tinny" and weak that the guy on the other end can't hear them. I had to go up 5 floors today and find a guy and ask if his radio was turned on. Turns out it was... just not well. Three out of four failing is WAY too high a failure rate for the investment these require. I've reached out to DeWalt and we'll see what they can do about them. ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW: I purchased these after seeing another contractor using them on the job site. The primary thing I liked about them was the small amount of buttons and the placement of the call button. Too often on the job, our more professional radios have too many options for the novice user. Even worse, the buttons often get pressed while in their tool belt or tool pouch. This radio has a large call button that's hard to press and not likely to get pressed by accident. That, I really like! The radio itself is great. The 2Watts of power work great for penetrating 35 floors of a highrise that the other cheaper radios won't do. I see other guys try and fail every day, but these penetrate pretty well with the extra power. The Micro USB charging port is awesome and one of the main reasons I picked up these radios. Rather than having to return them to the office and put 'em in the dock at night, the guys can charge them in their trucks, at home, or even on a portable battery pack, so that's been great. They charge quickly and they work well. As far as the belt clip goes - I'm not very impressed. In fact I'm a little mad that I spent so much and they've not lasted a month. So far out of four radios, we've used them a total of about six days on job sites. Three of the four have busted belt clips. The clips are really cheaply made and the radio can fall out of them. One of them fell three feet from a tool pouch and the antenna shroud just snapped off. I found it later and put it back on, but it shouldn't snap off that easy. Worse, the plastic that houses the belt clip contains so little material that the clips simply snap off. There's about 1/16th inch of plastic holding that together. Overall - GREAT radio - just plan to either be careful with it, or you'll find yourself fashioning a zip-tie clip for it when the belt clip breaks.

This is a great product for a team to have great communication when cell phone signal is not the best. I have use this several times on different types of jobs. They are rugged and hold up well. I also have use these on family vacations and they work great. The range is amazing and I have even allowed my children to use these around the yard or in the neighborhood so I can keep and communications with them when they are running around the neighborhood sound quality is great. Was a good value for the money. Charging station is great.

These work great for a non regulated option. There are limits, but they seemed to work well over long distance and in semi-dense forrest. They can become obstructed, however.

I really like the heft and IP67 rating. Simple to charge and use. Unfortunately, one of the two units would not operate. While diagnosing I discovered that the battery connection had been damaged during assembly. I moved the pin to the proper orientation, and the unit works great.

The DeWalt DXFRS300 FRS Walkie Talkies are absolutely essential equipment for any crew that needs reliable communication over long distances or across large, complex worksites. We recently deployed a set of these for a major installation where our team was spread out with significant visual obstructions—and they performed flawlessly. Outstanding Range and Clarity The "long range" claim is legitimate. We had excellent communication even when working around corners, through buildings, and across significant distances where line-of-sight was completely obscured. What impressed me the most was the clarity of the signal. There was none of the typical static or broken-up messages you get with cheaper FRS radios. Every call came through loud and clear, which is crucial for safety and avoiding costly mistakes. The dedicated weather channels are also a great bonus for outdoor work. Built for the Jobsite These radios are clearly designed for rugged environments. They are solid, feel great in the hand, and can take a beating—exactly what you need from DeWalt. The batteries hold a charge for a long time, easily getting us through a full workday of intermittent but heavy use. The simple button layout makes them easy to use, even while wearing work gloves. If your crew relies on walkie talkies for coordination, do yourself a favor and invest in the DXFRS300. Reliable communication saves time, prevents headaches, and ensures everyone stays safe. They are definitely worth the investment for the peace of mind and performance they deliver.

Great quality! Very durable. Bought these for work and they have saved us a lot of yelling and miss communication among team members. Will pick up other frequencies if other radios and crews are in the area, but easy to change channels if needed. battery life does last a while! I won’t charge my radio for 2 days and still strong! The range is decent. Our community is a little under an acre of land and we can still hear each other when we walk past our property.

So, I bought these for my property so when I'm out working on something my wife can yell at me loud and clear. But really I'm very impressed with these I live in the mountains very hilly and covered in brush and trees I've owned a bunch and cheap ones as a kid and my dad buying the nicer ones for around the property. I remember him even getting into cb radios but nothing was a match for these hills a few miles is all we could get out of most radios and when we had the good cb radio hooked up we got a few extra. So when I got 1.4 miles out of these radios I was very impressed. Why? Let me draw you a picture. Wife's on the porch most likely holding the radio wrong pointed away from me antenna facing into the house or hill away from where I'm driving I went not just behind but over a hill behind another hill dropped off into a small valley that's a miles away from my house that's behind another hill! And we can still talk loud and clear... Remember I'm also in a car so if she was looking at me the signal would have to go through 5 mountain with zero line of sight that's over a mile away... Now after the 6 hill around 1.5 miles from my house it started getting choppy but I hit a clear spot still blocked by a mountain but the signal came through now at 1.8 miles away and she's loud and clear.... Now this part of the canyon I had to go behind another mountain and through another mountain at over 2 miles away and we hit a dead spot.. I was talking to her and at some moments I would come in clear as day but as I was driving it would quickly vanish.. So that's 7 mountain later and the radios finally give out... Call me impressed. I also had a small 3w or 5w cb radio with a upgraded antenna on the same frequency to see if I could hear her on that but it stopped picking her up at 1.5 miles.... And so I'm very glad I went with these since it struggled to keep a clearer signal then the Dewalt and they arnt as clear nore legal like the Dewalt are without a special license. As for quality I must of got the upgraded batch because mine came in with the batteries installed and the people who had issues with the unit had to install the batteries. Also the antenna feels very sturdy along with the back clip I feel it will break before that clasp fails and I don't feel it breaking anytime soon. I'm also not a fan of Dewalt I personally own several Milwaukee power tools and a couple Dewalt and Milwaukee always out last and performs them. I would even buy Roybi over Dewalt is how much I'm not a fan boy of them haha but I must give credit where credit is due.. I wasn't expecting Alot and I got way more then I could ever imagine. Alot of people don't like the battery but I'm never going to remove it unless its dead and it's supposed to have a 14 hour work life so if your on a job site spending 50 dollars a radio just buy an exstra set or two so when one dies on the field they can swap them out for a charged one. And when you notice them dieing before the days over maybe its time to change out the battery? I'm sure they'll Alot cheaper then the standard clip on kind and probably why Dewalt went this route. Personally I'd recommend these at 100 and if you don't want to wait around for a sale asking price is far for what you are getting from personally using and even having my friends tell me you'd be lucky to find a radio that will work a half miles away from home once you get behind a hill it's worthless.. Overall and so far I'm very impressed and time will tell how long they will last/hold up and if something comes up that warranty doesn't cover I'll make sure to update my review but I'm very happy and plan to buy another set.

The walkie-talkies are good, but I do question the design choice to place the push-to-talk button in front of the radio, rather than on the side, like nearly all other 2-way radios. That sounds nitpicky and I could’ve ignored it, if one of the radios had not arrived damaged. The holster was damaged when it arrived. I would’ve returned it, if I didn’t need it immediately for my job.

BUEN PRODUCTO, EL ALCANCE ES BUENO Y EL SONIDO CLARO INCLUSO EN EDIFICIOS, PERO TUVE UN DETALLE LA BATERIA DE UNO DE ELLOS YA FALLO Y NO ENCUENTRO REFACCION O DONDE SE PUEDA ADQUIRIR NO SE SI POR ACA LA PUEDA ENCONTRAR

Radios work very well for our application

Excelentes walkie-talkie, buen funcionamiento de inicio y buen alcance! Esperemos que asi sigan.

One of the antenna came off after the second day using them. And had some issue with the base. Must of got moisture during delivery. They are sending me a replacement radio and a replacement charging base. Very grateful for their help

Buen producto, durable y cumple com lo que se requiere.
