Great product. Works as indicated. Don't believe all the complaints from people as far as the radios not having the distance advertised. If you wanted to call someone 20 miles away, use your phone.

These are neat radios, but wished it didn't beep every time you release the button to talk. Other than that these reach a long way.

Good units. The user interface is complicated - keep the manual around. The batteries are hard to replace or swap out for AA batteries, which is a nice feature. Normally you just leave them in and charge them.

Best radios for the price. Our group deer hunt in hilly terrian and we find that they range easily 1/2 to 3 miles depending on if you're in a valley. Other that that we have ranged around 5 to 15 mile if you are on higher points of land. Power pacs will last more than a day if left on steady.

My husband used these for 7 days in Colorado with his buddy as they were Jeeping through the mountains. They worked great. Now, not even 3 months after purchase, he pulled them out again to use on a hunting trip. They don't work at all. Fail.

What makes this particular pair of FRS radios stand out for us is its ability to closely monitor two channels while ignoring all other channels. That allows us to have a private channel for our own communication, while still also listening for any group communications by the charity with which we serve in a place where our cell phones don't work.
I also like that these radios use 4 AA batteries, rather than the 3 of our other pair of Motorola FRS radios, and hope that translates into a longer time between needing a recharge. (Overall size is about the same.)

36 mile range only applies if your on a 36 mile lake, & in line of sight.... Get on a mountain and it's quickly reduced to 1/8th mile range. Also, still using crappy NimH batteries, which go from full charge to dead without warning, and you have to time the charge, no indication when they are done. unlike reliable Lithium. These retail for $90 elsewhere and would be gettting a refund if I paid that much

Good luck if you are out of sight of each other,static.The ear piece is a joke.Works great on very flat ground no trees or hill.
kids enjoy them and that should be the target to sell to KIDS

Would purchase again. Really like the product. Only issue is the battery over heats after a while if kept on charger to long.

They work great by using external batteries but the battery packs provided have very poor battery life. I mean unusable. If you are counting on the battery packs, do not buy this product.

Pretty rugged. Great value for the price. The range is really good, just remember to adjust the transmit power if you really need the range. This will cost you battery though. Simple accessories included, others available. I've used lots of these for racing, and they take a beating,.... Haven't had one fail yet!

Took it out on a 2 day turkey hunt. My buddy had problems hearing clearly while using the provided earpiece/mic. Also the earpiece fits horribly, it must be made with 5year olds in mind. Another issue: battery didnt last long at all, maybe a full 6 hours? With most of the time radio sitting in idle.
Edit:
ear pieces still are terrible. Possibly got worse for being heard from the other party. Battery life diminished to maybe an hour for both battery packs. And the wall charger stopped working. It actually got nuclear hot it burned my finger tips and a spot on the hard woof floor. I should have notified ebay sooner but the battery life going down the drain after only 3 hunts this year is crap.
Hopefully I can get my money back for this junk. Useless.

I purchased a set of these and they worked fine - for 3 days. Then, one would discharge a fully charged battery in 3 hours. Yes, I did swap fully charged batteries and it was that o e handheld. So, I considered that set to be one of the few that would go bad. I notified amazon and they had UPS pick it up.
I immediately ordered another set, before I got my refund. This set had one radio that would discharge a fully charged battery in 10 hours while the other one indicated a fully charged battery! I swapped batteries and that radio was the problem. Now, 10 hours is long enough for some, but being an electrical engineer, I knew that a problem existed that might get worse with time. So, I sent that set back!
Now, the thing is, that I really liked the radios! (When they worked!) This was one of the top two most popular sets that claim a 36 mile range. I knew enough to know that unless you had a totally clear 36 miles, you are NOT going to get anywhere close to that! From our limited testing, we got about 4 miles in a small town. It was satisfactory to me. I did do some research before I decided on this radio. The other radio that was rated the same as these and were as popular, only had 1.5 watts on GMRS. GMRS requires a license from the FCC. Being an 'ham' I paid for the license and that is it! No test.
FRS (Family Radio System) has less range due to a lower wattage limit. While I'm on the subject, if you get your GMRS, you are allowed to have a base station, transmitting up to 50 watts to an outside antenna. This would greatly increase the range, both because of higher power and an outside, elevated antenna. Before you get too excited, the only true base station transceiver costs over $300 - $400! Do NOT be suckered into the 'base station' sold by Midland. It has the same 5 watt power as the handheld unit. It has a hand crank to provide a charge to the batteries. I didn't buy one, I just read the specifications and the feedback here on amazon. It is cheaply made.
Back to my drama! I still liked these radios, when they worked! So, I purchased a set elsewhere and so far there are no problems. I think amazon got a batch of defective radios. Yours may be fine....or not! Even though I really like these radios, I felt a one star rating was called for since both sets had problems. Apparently Midland has a quality control problem, or perhaps more likely they received faulty components. These things do happen in electronics. But, for both sets I purchased?! So, I hope you receive a good set!

After getting radios ready for vacation trip, one radio died after turning it on twice! Changed batteries three times, checked all connections and batteries swapping them out with the good radio, and still the other radio would NOT turn on.Figure it wasn't worth the hassle in retuning them since I already through out the packing. Anybody need on FRS radio....

Great radios. I have never tested the 36 mile range but I did test them in a relatively densely populated area and they worked well. The distance was 8 miles (as the crow flies) through varying terrain (hills) and plenty of obstructions (house mostly). They worked great. You may have to change up the channels a few times to find one that works.

Range is a joke, 3 miles away and no contact. But for around our property they work well. I am happy with them for what we wanted them for, but don't expect very much as far as range. Unless you live on flat ground with no trees.

so far all good. had long distance radios before so i know their limitations. for half the price that everyone else is selling them for, I don't see how I can go wrong. already work better than my last 2way that cost $250 for just the radio. 1 extra ziplock bag in my pocket for those moments when I may get soaked and i'm ready to go

Midland makes some great products and we got this two way radio exclusively for use with our motor home. Our plan is to use it while parking the motor home and we will take a unity with us whenever we leave the vehicle...just to stay in touch...and that is essential since many places are not cell phone capable.

Replaced 2 sets within the 30 day return window. Others made it until 3 months, then quit working. Not impressed. Stuck with 14 of these radios, and can't use half. Changed the battery packs for AA batteries, that fixed 2 of them.

I had researched which radio had the longest range, since I needed max range for a wilderness river rafting trip involving multiple boats. I was very happy with these radios--good voice quality and excellent range. Those with other brands of radios could hear me clearly, even though their transmit power was too low for me to pick up. Next time, we'll outfit every member with one of these radios.

Great Set of Radios. I've only used them for a couple of weeks and they work like a charm. The only thing is that the battery is not the longest duration, I don't know if it's because I have them configured to work to the longest distance possible (H).

Having used these in the past through my work with a school district, I was hoping to be as pleased with the most recent purchase. Several years ago these walkies were purchased for daily use in a before and after school program. They worked well for approximately 3 years without major issue. My most recent order of 12 arrived in early February. After following the instructions for charging and battery usage, exactly half of them have stopped working. Unfortunately it is not due to battery issues, it is a defective radio itself. Being part of a school district, dealing with the warrantee claim has been a hassle as well. I now have to pay to ship the defective radios to the warrantee claim office for "refurbishing".
I will never buy again. Despite the range and the clarity, these are no longer quality controlled and were a waste of money.
