What is the range on these? I am looking for something that I can use with my neighbor just in case of an emergency.. he is a few hundred feet away...

I'm not sure how many feet the range is I do know I walked 6 blocks away and talked to my grandson in the house. We also used them on a cruise and had not problem with the distance.

The range isn't far, but the walkies should work fine for you and your neighbor. I bought these for a friend and the walkies stopped working for us when we got more then a street block away. So if you live in a urban or suburban area, the walkies should work just fine. But if you live in a rural area, might want to look for different ones. They're great when they work though, clear and crisp sound quality and easy to use.

well i think the range is about 1 mile. without any buildings or interruptions. if he is a couple of feet away i am sure that you will have no problem. I have used them in the amusement parks with my son and had problems.

I'm not sure of the exact range of this alert system. I had a distance of about 1/3 mile from transmitter to receiver. Regardless of the range, I would not recommend this product to anyone as it only worked for a few weeks before it started giving false alarms or didn't alert when someone was actually coming down the driveway. Look elsewhere for an alert system!

The range is not great - I'm guessing 3-4 miles? The walkies are perfect, otherwise.

I don't know, but I understand that there is limited range. So if your neighbor's mailbox is 100ft from your receiver, you should be ok. If it did go off, you could move your receiver further away in your house.

My experience has been that they have limited range and the battery life is very short.

I don't recommend for long ranges; used them once and they died (and it wasn't the batteries).

We have a fairly large house and yard and never had an issue with the range inside or out. If you're going beyond ~75 yards I can't really comment b/c never tried to use it further than that. The problem with this device though is NOT the range...it's the delay you must suffer through between when you click to 'wake up' the remote and when you are actually able to deliver the shock. In my experience the delay was so long that the dog had finished doing the bad thing before I could shock him. I suggest not buying this model and looking for one that is always on and ready to work exactly when you need it.

I use one with a distance of about 300 feet (about 100 meters) and barely have the required signal strength. Also, the output signal is weak at a distance of 15 feet in my house.

my friend and I own a pair and we use them all the time. outside, if the sky is clear and there's no buildings between you, they'll reach a solid mile. but indoors our around a lot of buildings, they'll only reach a few hundred yards, if that.

Range is not far. About 200 yards is perfect. Anymore then that and you'll start braking up and hearing static.

It the range was only 20 feet it was probably a weak battery. If you haven't changed the battery, do so. Your range should way beyond that. I've set my panic alarm by accident from inside my house. Hope this helps. These remotes are cheap and identical to my factory remote. It can't hurt to buy an extra.

Hey Brandon- The range on these is awesome! I had a gated community that I had direct line of sight to the antennae that was mounted on a pole 10' high, and was well over 500'.Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.Thanks...Matty

I am not sure of the exact range, we have a good sized yard, and never had a problem with range in the house or outside.

If you have a Ham license, you know they are line of sight. Mine will easily go 100 miles if I'm hitting someone or a repeater on a mountain top. They are 5 watts and they behave like any other 5 watt radio. I have a 50 watt transmitter I can hook it up to in the car. They are great radios.

Don't know the range but I have them throughout my house and the furthest point I was saying there were at least 50 feet apart. Very good product!

We are using high quality 75 ohm with a run of 53 feet. Reception of stations is excellent up to about 70 miles away. At that distance, reception is somewhat sensitive to interference from military and weather sources.

BlueTooth is good for about 30ft but walls and metal will reduce this distance. This may not work well!
