Tough, rubberized trim and grip resist daily wear and tear and help to absorb the impact when accidentally dropped.

Amazon.com Review

Panasonic's KX-TR320 sports all of the features you'd expect of an FRS radio in this price range, including the ability to transmit on all 14 FRS channels and on 38 subcodes within each channel. It's also one of the coolest-looking FRS radios we've ever laid eyes on. Unfortunately, the very things that make it look so good also hurt its usability.

This radio runs on three AA batteries or its outlet power via an AC/DC converter (not included). There are also jacks on the top to connect to an external microphone and headset (also not included). All of these jacks are sealed by rubber plugs that fit snugly enough to make this one of the few splashproof FRS radios on the market. The feel of the unit exudes quality, and except for the fragile-looking flip-up antenna, this is one radio that could easily absorb several drops onto cement and come up asking for more.

On the downside, the KX-TR320 has rather small buttons that are difficult to see, let alone press. And they're packed so close together it's easy to press the wrong one. This fault can be turned into an upside, as it's also difficult to inadvertently press a button just by handling the unit, but we found using the KX-TR320 in less than optimal lighting conditions to be a chore.

However, both the sound quality and range of the unit were excellent, and if you have two or more of the radios you can take advantage of the privacy subcodes that only let you hear people using the same subcode (although everyone else on the same channel who isn't using the codes can hear you). We've seen better overall values, but the KX-TR320's rugged construction and rich features really add to its appeal. --T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

Allows for several privacy codes and 5 different call tones
Great sound quality and range
Rugged construction

Cons:

Buttons are very hard to work with

Amazon.com Product Description

The Palm Link KX-TR320S two-way radio helps you keep in touch with your family or friends on the slopes, the trail, or the street. It has a 2-mile range that is great for the outdoors. A flip-down microphone with a separate ear speaker lets you hold the unit close like a cellular phone and converse more privately.

The KX-TR320S has 38 different privacy codes so you can selectively include or exclude other two-way radio users. Other Palm Link two-way radio users can monitor or join your conversations if they are operating on the same combination of channel and privacy codes. You can search all 14 channels and 38 privacy codes for active transmissions with the scan function.

The Palm Link KX-TR320S's rugged design with rubberized trim and grip helps absorb the impact of the occasional knocks and bumps that come with outdoor use. It is also splash resistant in case you get caught in the rain. The ring-call alert lets you choose from five ringer tones, and you can call out to other users by pressing the call button. It has a multifunction backlit display so even in complete darkness the screen displays channel, privacy code, battery strength, key lock status, transmit status, ring mode, and voice operation mode.

everyone like's all kinds of stuff if anything i trust panasonic,some like sony all i could say is find some thing u might really need but get something u can trust.

Was left out in the yard for 3 months and still works!.......2002-05-15

I usually don't rave about a product, but this was too good to be true. I bought 4 of these radios for Christmas. Sometime in Jan. one of my sons lost his radio out in the woods by our house. Today my wife found it while she was out for a run. I pushed the power button and it worked like new. Unbelievable! I'm sure this is not the kind of "field testing" that they had in mind at Panasonic.

Great radio........2002-03-31

Many useful features, works as advertised. Range is great, but the batteries run out very quickly.

Great 2-way radio!.......2002-02-27

Customer Reviews:

Nice toy, but not all that practical.......2005-09-14

The images on this unit are fantastic. Works both above water and below. We were amazed at the view of the schools of bluegills, then the rocks, then the rock ledge.....Got so busy watching the screen, I didn't watch where we drifted! But anyway, it's good for objects within very close range. We used it in an Arkansas lake with about 17 ft visibility and could really only see objects within a few feet of the camera. Based on our experience, if you try and use it in a muddy lake, you won't see anything unless you are on top of it.

Major Drawbacks: The video screen unit is bulky. The whole outfit fits into a nice carrying case, but again, bulk, bulk, bulk, between the screen and the battery. They don't give you the option of using a 12v cig lighter plug-in and you have to use the battery provided for power. Also, the directions strongly caution against getting the video screen unit wet. Hello?...I'm in a boat surrounded by water and may also get rained on and you tell me not to get it wet? They should have made the video unit waterproof. The camera unit is OK, but you really have no control of it once you put it in the water. It dangles on the end of its cord, rotating at will with no human control except for the depth you lower it to. The cable has the depth marked off in 5 ft intervals, which is helpful. The camera has a circle of lights mounted on it, but I never could get them to go on. You certainly aren't going to get Robert Ballard quality images out of this setup!

We ended up taking it back (to Bass Pro) as we were very unsatisfied with the quality/usefulness for the amount of money it cost. It was too much trouble and too much clutter in an already crowded boat. Also, I prefer to sneak a peak at my depth finder every now and then and get my fishing pole in the water rather than screwing around with a camera unit, looking at the underwater terrain and seeking what kinds of fish are below me.

Spend your money on a depth finder. It's far more utilitarian for the fisherman.

Works great... Plug it in and go.......2002-11-13

I use this Network Adapter for Guest computers, I pop in the CD, plug in the USB and POW!! I'm on the wireless network. A good product at a good price.

no support, intermittently freezes pc.......2002-10-07

I purchased since it was cheap, you obviously get what you pay for with this company. I have since upgraded to D-link. Causes intermittent freezing of the pc in WinME, same on my W2Kpro machine.
Faxing in an RMA form is the only way to get a response. Why not just fix their drivers.

Works well.......2002-08-23

I bought this because it was inexpensive. Works well in infrastructure mode with my Netgear MR314 router, Windows 98. Reception is average - good enough for coverage from anywhere inside my house. You can't attach an external antenna. Speed is good enough for internet use. I was able to download the latest drivers (including XP - as of April 2002) and latest firmware upgrade. I applied the firmware upgrade, but I haven't tried it with XP yet.

I've haven't had any problems, but don't expect support from Addtron.

Not the best, but good for the money........2002-07-15

I bought this becasue I was staying the summer in a complex with wireless broadband and needed a wireless USB adapter for cheap. I saw the price and dove right in. I found out that there are no drivers in the box for Windows XP, but the Windows 2000 driver included works fine. After scouring the web, I found out that the companym Addtron, doesn't support their networking products. On their site they had a link for a Windows XP driver, but the link was broken. Even after trying to call the company, I still have had no luck getting the Windows XP driver. I haven't used the adapter for much heavy use. Reception is decent, but nothing amazing.

Bottom Line: The included drivers work very well in Windows 2000 and work for the most part in Windows XP. If I could get my hands on the new XP drivers, I would be a happy camper. It works well for basic wireless conectivity, but I wouldn't use it for anything extreme.

DO NOT SIGN UP WITH PACKET 8.......2007-09-24

I have been with Vonage for 2 years and Sun Rocket for 9 months. Recently I signed up with Packet 8. There website is pretty bad. If you change any features eg call forwarding or caller ID, nothing happens. Email notification does not carry voice mail. Some of the numbers can not be dialed with Packet 8. If you complain there is no response or no action. I am surprised that they are still in business.

Excellent .......2007-07-04

I was surprised by some of the negative feedback. I've been using Packet 8 since Nov 06 and it has been nothing short of excellent. It was very easy to hook up and has worked flawlessly. The sound quality is great. It's very cheap at $20 / month. I liked it so much I don't have a land line anymore.

You can fax...and other info.......2007-01-06

I heard all these horror stories on faxing over VOIP so I never tried it. Well to my amazement Packet 8 sent so far 2 for 2 faxes....1st time 100% ok. Now these are SENT faxes. I'm not concerned with receiving faxes as there are other alternatives that are even better. For example one can get a dedicated free incoming fax from EFAX which deposits it into your e-mail. In my opinion this is much better anyway as now a permanent record exists of the original.

The other advantage of Packet 8 over VOnage is no annoying clicks of 1 sec drops. I have 2 friends who have Vonage and each time I talk to them there is an annoying drop-out of about 1 to 2 secs evey say 2 minutes. Not so with Packet 8.

Others have reported dropped calls with Packet 8. Only occasionlly do I experience this...but its only after say a 3 hour call. Most time no sweat. I use the 3 way calling a lot too.

Packet 8 line is ALWAYS UP. Its more reliable than my cell phone. As long as the cable is up so is Packet 8. In fact it has become the defacto way to tell if I have data service. If I got PAcket 8 dial tone its up.

Its easy to set up. Plug in an eternet connection. Plug in the phone connection. Answer the e-mail you get. BINGO...You got dial tone! Easier than a land line setup. The phone companies should be running real scared.

THe only downfall of Packet 8 is the box will not support multiple extentions. So you can't have two phones plugged into same box. THis was stupid of PAcket 8. But the work around is easy: Go to Sams Hohouse CLub and get a cordless 4 wireless phone...you know...the ones with 4 handsets. Now you got it covered. Works great.

Good service, great price........2006-12-15

I have been a Packet8 subscriber for over three years. Packet8 provides terrific value, and I never had any problems that their technical support staff wasn't willing and able to quickly address.

Note that many complaints with VoIP providers--and Packet8 is no exception--are due to the the customer's ISP, broadband speed, etc.

Packet8 just started hitting customers with a lot of extra fees, taxes, etc., bringing that nice $20 monthly plan up to almost $30.

Disclosure: Just this month switched to Sunrocket for their annual plan at $199 (which Packet8 matches), but more so to get a free hardware upgrade. (Sunrocket offers a phone adapter with built-in router.)

Feedback on the line and static.......2006-01-23

I've used this service for almost 8 months now. A lot of times, there's a feedback on the line (I can hear my own voice). My friends and family also tell me that they can hear static on the line when they're talking to me - at first I dismissed it as their phones but given enough complaints and that when I'm on my cell phone that doesn't happen I'm convinced it's the service.

I also think they deserve a low score because when compared to their competitors they don't have the same number of features even though they cost about the same.
