Not even close:
I'm with some of the other reviewers here.. I didn't really expect to get full range, but when testing in a suburban Virginia neighborhood I barely got 4 blocks (~ 3/4 mi). Unless you're on a lake they are pretty much useless.
I have no regrets!!:
This is a very simple 2 ways radio. I used for 3 days and one stops working. Of course Amazon change it and the other one it's still working. I used for a travel in Disney and it worked very well.
Not 12 miles:
Tried this at a straight stretch of road at a distance of 3 miles works good but beyond that lot of static. NOAA feature is good and helpful during storm warnings.Definitely not for 12 miles as it says on the cover even with one watt transmitting power.
GOOD THINK FOR GOOD REASON:
The T6500 Radio is a good choice for the person that need something standard and don t spend much money.
