The reason I bought this set is because it runs on AA batteries. For some reason, most things are switching over to AAA batteries, which cost the same amount of money per battery but only last half as long. This set is also waterproof, and it is rated at 36 miles. This set has a lot of accessories included in the package; it even has a car charger.
Now for the things I do not like about these radios. This is a very hard radio to figure out. The directions do not match what is in the radio's menu, and I could not get some of the features to work at all. The VOX feature (which lets you lay the radio down and talk across the room without having to touch the radio) was totally worthless. Even with it at its highest setting, you had to talk directly into the speaker. At the lower settings, it did not work at all. The waterproof means barely water resistant according to the directions. In contrast, I have two Cobra radio sets. One radio went bad on each set. The oldest set took AA batteries also. The rechargeable batteries only last a season or two (deer season-- from one year to the next). This is still my preferred radio; it has a clock and a compass in it, but I think it is going bad also. It is rated at 17 to 22 miles, I do not remember exactly. I bought the newer Cobra about 3 years later. It was rated at 27 miles. It is the smallest radio, and it uses a Lithium-ion battery, like a cellphone. This new Midland is supposed to be rated at 36 miles. This 36 mile radio did slightly better than my oldest 17-22 mile radio, which is going out, but did not do as good as the 27 mile Cobra. Remember these older Cobras are about 10 years old, and I am sure that they are not as good as when they were new.
In conclusion, if I could change my ratting without retyping the review, I would have giving this radio a 3 star instead of the 4 star. I gave it a good ratting because it does take AA batteries. I do not think I would buy this set again. In fact, the old lithium-ion battery Cobra holds a charge longer than this New Midland, and it has got to be around 10 years old. I seen a newer version of this radio (improved to 33 mile) at amazon.com for the same money that I paid for this radio. That is the radio I would buy if I had it to do over again. I waited until after deer season to give a better review.

Don't waste your time. One of the two radios went out. The button to press to talk stopped working. The battery indicator on the same one that's broken continuously goes up and down as if it's charging. Reset (turning off and on) and taking the battery out or switching the battery doesn't fix my issue. Don't waste your money.

they worked for our cross country trip but because of my lack of foresight I thought they covered cb channels that I could use later on my boat for a back up but it's a private channel system. Again this was my fault not the radio but be aware of it.
As for the workings of the radio they worked great but half way threw the trip the battery's went dead to be expected but when I tried to charge them up using the provided cig charger no dice and they were no more than a brick.
I could probably have bitched and gotten a new set of radio's but now my trip is over and don't really need them anymore and since no cb channels no good on the boat either so lesson learned part my fault and part the radio since the batteries wouldn't recharge.

These work better than I expected after reading all the reviews claiming very short range in the city. If you really want 36 miles of coverage then buy a cell phone.

I bought this radio based on some great reviews and having a hope that I will easily out perform my old cheap Audiovox ( 5 miles range ) which is half the size of the Midland. Well, upon arrival of the unit from Amazon I was surprised that the radio was a bit bulky with pretty long antenna so I expected to get a big improvement from my old unit. After initial testing in urban areas I found it pretty shocking that my old cheap Audiovox was cutting the voice after a mile away from my house ( which was the reason for the upgrade ) and the new Midland started to do the same after 1.5 miles. So figure out your self if you need it. I still want to give it a try in some more open areas and will update the feedback later.

Great radios with good range. We used them while moving. Each of our three vehicles had one in it and at one point the lead car was a good 2 or 3 miles away and we were still in communication. We were in the Texas Hill Country and I was quite surprised at the performance with all of the trees and hills.

Worked well for 6 weeks. One radio stopped working. Sent to Midland for repairs. Two months later other radio stopped working and could not be repaired. I threw them out after that.

These work well but the range isn't nearly what it says it should be. We get about a mile maximum before we lose touch. Other than that, no complaints. I would definitely recommend unless you really need something with a far range.

These Midland two-way radio are very fun. I bought them as a gift for my brother and he was very happy.

I bought two sets of these (4 walkies total) for work. They are clear and sound good when they work. After about a month, two of them stopped turning on and working all together. I've read of other people having the same problem before I bought mine but I was hoping to luck out. I should have listened.

I purchased 2 sets of these for my kids to use while they play outside. We live in a very wooded area, and the kids report that the range and sound quality is very good. They seem to hold a charge for a long time as well. So far, the quality of these for the money is good.

great radios but the earpieces are totally worthless because they don't fit any ears regardless of size.

The Midland GRX1000vP4 exceeded our expectations for our two vehicle road trip from California to Kansas. The units held a first charge for 16 hours of regular use. The second chagre is still strong after two additional days of regular communications. Great two way radios and 5 star rating. Only complaint: car charger included in package does not have correct connection for this unit. Plan to call Midland here in KC.

I saw it for twice the price in Heartland's catalog. It is after all, a CB radio. It's good for biking. We will take it to Europe soon and get away from the expensive cell phones (on the cruise and on land). They came quick, the rechargable battery life is great!

They work alright... within a mile or two, and then that's questionable. I do not comprehend how they can claim a 36 mile range. It's a well built product with a lot of settings, but don't expect to talk to anyone a mile or more from camp.

I have purchase 4 sets (8 radios) within 2 weeks of purchase 2 of them just stopped working. Now I am dealing with the headsets not working. Simply put I am highly disappointed in this product especially because its rating suggest a much better product. I run after school and summer camp programs and this type of radio is just not suited for daily use.

These are better than average. And they do very well in the mountains, much longer range than I expected. The only problem is they need to be louder volume. I would buy them again for the money.

While we caravaned between properties, rather than using Cell phone minutes we used these hand sets. The signal was clear, even a mile away from each other, but when we went through a populated area, we encountered "others". There were some kids on the same frequency that were saying things freaking out our kids. Luckily there are multiple channels available and we found one without kids playing on it.
I think it will work great when we settle on a specific frequency beyond the default, and go out to outdoor venues where we may split directions. Only thing that could be added to improve these, is a homing beacon.

these work great! only downfall is the headset, when wearing it for extended periods of time they start to hurt your ear. Used these for our kickboxing tournament for 3 days and everyone loved them. great reception, great battery life, very clear.

Works great and the price was good. They work suprizingly well in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado where we use them. Don't expect 36 miles in that kind of terrain but we did get 10 miles line of sight without a problem and up to 3 miles throughout the forest in mountainous terrain.
