For an inexpensive single gmrs radio it works very well. Pairs up nicely with any other gmrs radios and the range is good on it. I have not attempted to see if the 23 mile range holds true or not, but it has worked up to 16 miles so far. Battery life is decent when using standard Alkaline batteries. You can (after a lot of looking and finally a phone call to Midland) find a car charger to use with this unit and rechargeable batteries. One thing you have to remember about any radio and distance claims and that is terrain and obstacles will significantly shorten and affect the range of the device. The 16 mile range I got was over flat land desert (line of sight). In the mountains of Northern California, thick forest and hills do cut the range down to 3 miles or less, but even those using higher priced, high end radios have the same problems, so keep that in mind if this doesn't perform as intended in cluttered environments.
