We are in the market for several radios that can be used by the  
condominium administrator and the maintenance employees to communicate  
with each other. The distance between the administrative office and our  
3 interconnected condominium buildings is not great. However to be  
usable, it is necessary that somebody inside an apartment can send and  
receive. Our buildings each have 3 stories, 2 apartments on a floor,  
and are made of concrete block.

Price is a concern, but the radios must be able to do what we want them  
to do. Are there some radios you can recommend?

Hi,

The [Motorola](http://www.buytwowayradios.com/Products/Motorola/Motorola-Two-Way-Radios.aspx) CLS series of business radios is ideal for your situation. They are very small radios with great battery life. Using business frequencies will make you less susceptable to unwanted outside interference. The [Motorola CLS 1110](http://www.buytwowayradios.com/products/motorola/motorola-cls-1110.aspx) would likely be perfect for you.

If you are looking to spend less money, you could go with a consumer (FRS/GMRS) radio. The [Motorola SX700R](http://www.buytwowayradios.com/products/motorola/motorola-sx700r.aspx) and [Midland GXT-600-VP4](http://www.buytwowayradios.com/products/midland/midland-gxt-600-vp4.aspx) are good choices. These models aren’t as durable and don’t have the battery life of the CLS series, but they will deliver the range you are looking for.
