Shortly after using radio realized battery wasn't working to full capacity. Midland was very accomandating in sending replacement battery.

They do the job for me because we primarily use them with a warehouse but they claim to have in excess of 20 mile range which is total BS - We cannot communicate more than 3-4 blocks away at best !!!!

Items is exactly what is shown. I haven't had a chance to find the distance. I did use them and they work great at close distance.

We got these due to the great price. They seem to work well in the 3 times we have used them. However, I do love how nice our older and more user friendly Motorola radios are. I find the menu navigation and ease of use better with the Motorola radios.

Radios work as promised, however, range stated is 36 miles obviously, that is in absolute perfect conditions, realistically range is approximately 1 to 2 miles and will vary depending on conditions.

Excellent product. Works well within the city. Only at a minor range so far, but crystal clear for my usage!

I bought these to replace old Midland GXT650s. Took both sets of radios on a camping trip. We had severe weather come in, so I tried the NOAA feature on the GXT1000s, could not get anything. Turn on the old GXT650 and was able to receive the weather info. Tried the other GXT1000, it was the same, no reception. Please note these radios only take 4 AA batteries, not 8 as stated in the product info. Since the GXT650 are only 18 mile range and take four AA batteries it made since the GXT1000 would take 8 AAs since they are rated at 36 miles, not true. Both radios take the same battery pack. The GXT1000 does have more range than the old GXT650s.

Bought 6 and 2 of the Headphones already do not work with only a month return policy, this was very disapointing that I cannot get replaced after having set for less than 2 months.

Worked very good for me on my recent Colorado Elk hunt! 36 miles must be be tested on water or Salt flats or something cause it doesn't come close to that.. But for the price, they're great!

Nice, but you have to be on a prairie or at sea. The distance doesn't really apply if there are any homes or buildings in the way.

I wanted to be able to communicate with a friend about 15 miles away, but he is behind a mountain. I knew we were going to have some trouble, since these are "line of sight" units.
Surprise surprise, we could actually almost communicate! If he stood in the right place on his property, we could hear some of what the other was saying. That, in my book, was pretty impressive, considering what was between us.
In general, they work very well within a few miles, and as you go farther and farther away, the signal gets noisy and more difficult to hear, but still works in an emergency. I think 36 miles would work over fields or water, where you actually had line of sight, no hills, trees, mountains, etc.

These work for us as a school. We use them to coach teachers and they work from four buildings away!

36 mile no way in the woods you might get 1 mile, if hills 0.1 of a mile and if the pole barn is in the way no milers . but better than the rest of this style of radio.

Bought for the kids, to support a lesson plan in communications. Perform perfectly. I am not impressed with the dinky headset, however, I didnt expect to get headsets with the purchase. Everything else is more than satisfactory.

This is quite a complete package. I purchased this radio package in order to communicate with my bicycle riding friend. With VOX we can communicate without having to push the PTT switch. That means we can communicate without taking our hands off of the handlebars. That means a safer ride. The earphone/microphone fits inside the helmet comfortably. The charging stand is a nice plus. Bicycle riders will find this product makes their rides safer and more enjoyable.

Bought these for a cruise we were going on. The wife and I kept one each and gave the other set to our kids and turned them loose. We kept in touch with them no matter where they were on the ship. When we pulled into port and if the wife and I got off but the kids wanted to stay on we could still communicate with them we walked around. I set up a group code so the only traffic I received was from my wife or our kids with the same group code. While on the ship I saw others with Motorola’s, which received lots of traffic from every radio within range. Great buy.

worked great for the price!!!! easy to program (if you know what your doing and know how to read directions! LOL)
these have lots more features than the Motorola's and are user friendly. Also comes with the head sets! We got 3 sets and loved them! :)

I had another pair of these. Grand daughter lost one. So, I bought another set of the GXT's. Happy with the ist ones, happy with these. Exception; They are not compatible in the other charging cradle. Midland, why do this?? Tell those college boys/girls in Marketing this kind of messing with the public just ticks us off. I DO RECOMMEND THESE UNITS

I help run a local non profit haunted house for the Jaycees, and two of us picked these up. While we have a bunch of others, we wanted something better.
It was very nice being able to monitor two channels at once. I can keep an eye on the channel that does all the timing, and keep an eye on the general talk from the other workers.
Being outside all October, it was also nice being able to keep an eye on the weather at the same time.
The headsets they come with were wonderful. While not fully comfortable, they worked like they should without issues.
I have had no battery issues, but will update this if I have any issues with them this summer when we start building for next year.

The radios themselves are really good, and we get about a 2.5 to 3 mile range out of them in deep woods. my main gripe is battery life. The battery packs do not hold a charge. Not a big deal if you want to use AA batteries, but it irritates me to have to continually pay for additional battery packs that still don't hold a charge. Other than the battery packs, I really like the radios. They are made well and have decent range and great clarity.

Is this a military or law enforcement grade communications set? No. Can you get such a set for this price point? No.
I wanted it for communications while hiking or doing yard work, person to person over short distances. It serves this purpose quite well. I tested the VOX setting with the included headset and it worked as advertised - which was a concern based on some of the other reviews.
I live in a very hilly area and the hills do present an issue - as expected. These are line-of-sight devices. If you get in a valley you're going to have signal loss. But I was able to test over the distances I expect to operate the radios (around the house and around the neighborhood) and they functioned actually better than I expected. Do I think these radios would have a 36 mile range? Maybe in White Sands where there are no obstruction for 36 miles. But since I never expect to use the radios over that distance, I'm fine with that. I tested at about 1.5 miles - the longest distance where I could find no significant obstructions and the signal was clear.
There are all kinds of settings for these radios, including a privacy feature and the ability to up the signal to license-required level. I tested the former but not the latter (I don't have an operators license). As mentioned above I tested the VOX both with and without the 'whisper' mode it worked in both modes but much better with 'whisper' mode enabled. Standing 15 feet from my wife she was able to hear me over the radio while not able to hear what I was saying without the radio assist. I must say that I stopped using VOX + 'whisper' though...it picked up my breathing while I was dong some yard work and kept transmitting so I turned it off. VOX also clips about the first syllable of your transmission. Not a flaw of the system, just something to keep in mind.
In my estimation, if you need more than these radios provide, you need your HAM amateur operator's license and a much more expensive setup. For my intended purpose it is what I need at a price where I can afford it.

Use them in a big commercial building with cinder block walls. Quite a few other radios didn't work and this one has been great.
