I use these for work when doing installs in different areas so my team can communicate. Have also used them for large nerf wars in talking with leaders throughout the building. Very clear communication, have only tested differences to 500 - 800 ft. Would purchase again if needed.

We live on 52 acres, in the summer the boys go swimming in the pond and other times they're trapsing around in the woods. I make them take a radio each, in case they are seperated from one another or if there is an emergency or if I need them to come back to the house. I can always get them on the radio. They are 9 and 11 so they don't have cell phones and besides that, radios are more cool to use than cell phones in the woods. We also take them on trips for the same purpose and for car to car communications, because it is a different experience talking to someone on a Walkie-Talkie than a normal cell phone.
These radios are advertised as water or splash resistant. Last year one of them got knocked off the dock and ended up in the pond. I dove down and retrieved it, it had been underwater for about 30 minutes by the time I got it back up. It did not work at first. I took it back to the house and cracked it open, taking all the screws out and completely exposing the interior circuit boards. I dried it thouroughly with a paper towel and let it air dry over night. The next day I put it back together and with a newly charged battery it worked fine until it fell out of the boat a few weeks later and we couldn't find it. They ought to make them float, that would be a good addition to this product. We like this product just fine, it is compatable with other FRS and HAM radios that we already have, but I think that an extra 10 bucks for cammo rather than black is a rip off.

Good radios for the price. Of course the range is advertised for optimum conditions with nothing to block the signal, but they still have some reach. I like that they accept the rechargable batteries and AA. I got these as SHTF communication and they will be much better than nothing at all in that situation.

Don't be fooled by other uneducated reviews or manufacture sales claims. Anyone who seriously expects to get 20-40 miles range with these radios, knows nothing about radios. You will NEVER get that kind of range without tapping into a repeater station or antenna.
However, if you are looking for radio that is clear, comfortable, laid out well, and can talk effectively for a mile or two, then these are the one's you want. The only down side is the abbreviated menu's can be a little confusing at first. But all in all a great pair of radios that I am very pleased with.

Not even with line of sight can you get 36 mile range on these. Why they are able to advertise this range is beyond me. But, that said, these are decent walkies for the money. Truth is, in perfect conditions, you might get 5 or 6 mile range. I'd love to know how these were tested.

== Power Cycling may fix the radio if it appears Dead On Arrival ==
When I first charged the radios one of them wouldn't work. Swapped battery packs to diagnose and the same radio was dead. I tried operating the radio with 4 AAs (a nice feature) just be sure it wasn't a battery pack problem, and that didn't work either. I had a hunch that maybe I needed to power cycle the radio with no batteries in it overnight. The next morning I put the battery pack in and it worked. So there's something to try if your radios appear DOA.
== Successful Transmission and Receiving (in the same room) was very random ==
Once that issue was sorted out I started testing the radios in the same room with no group mode or privacy codes. The radio would transmit but the other radio would not be receiving it. After a few minutes they both started to transmit and receive. On subsequent tests I discovered that both would only either transmit or receive about half the time. I used a commercial grade GMRS radio (ICOM IC-F4TR) to double check the poor transmission and receiving behavior of these radios. My test included transmitting from the ICOM radio to see if the Midland radios would receive properly. They did not receive properly about half the time, even from a working commercial grade radio transmitting the signal.
With both radios defective I had to return them. I never got around to testing their range.
== 50 Channel Claim is dishonest ==
There's only 22 Channels for GMRS and FRS combined. I knew this claim wasn't entirely true. I thought that maybe they were counting both pairs of channels used for duplex mode (repeater input and output).
As it turns out, that wasn't the case either. Read this: [...]/ Channels 23-50 are simply channels 1-22 with preset privacy codes. Note that you can set privacy codes to any channel you want. In other words, channels 23-50 are presets and are not actual channels. Someone listening on channel 22 would hear you transmitting on "channel" 41 with a sub-audible privacy code.
== Operating frequency of UHF 462.5500 ~ 467.7125 is not true. (i.e. not repeater capable) ==
If you read the specs it says that that it operates on the 467mHz frequencies, which suggests that it is capable of transmitting to a repeater. That's not the case. You can only transmit from 462.562 ~ 462.725. Also it doesn't operate in duplex mode, so even if it technically could transmit at the higher repeater frequency, you won't be able to hear on the lower repeater output frequency. If you want or need a radio with repeater functionality, the Wouxun KG-UVD1P is an affordable solution.

Wow, we are highly impressed with these Midland 36 mile- 50 channel two-way radios in Camo color! My husband purchased these so that when he goes down to his deer-stand he can contact me if needed or I can contact him. He went and sat in the deer-stand 2 nights ago to see how many wild hogs were coming thru our property it was around 11pm when he contacted me on our new Two-Way Radio and he was whispering to me and I could hear him. He keeps his on silent mode so not to scare the critters away when hunting. He was only about 2 miles away in deep forest and they worked perfect .. we highly recommend these they are great for emergency use and hunting!

These units work great. Ten different ring tones, but the first nine are not as distinctive as the last. Could use a better variety of distinctive ring tones. Several ring tones are too similiar to land line phones.

I chose these for there ruggedness and they seem to work as advertised and as far as 36 miles well that's stretching it a bit. if you were in a desert and nothing between you and the other radio maybe but they do seem to work good at 10 miles for sure I want to test them in the woods next. for Prepper's this may be a good chose.

I had quite a bit of trouble using them at first, because the people who used them with me could not follow instructions exactely. Once I figured out what the problem was it was not such a problem to show and explain how to operate them.

I read several review in sportsman magazines concerning these types of radios. This brand was listed as a higher quality item. I checked this specific radio on a couple of web sites and the owners had good comments about this radio. The price was good, shipping was timely. I have good recommendations for anyone wanting to purchase this radio.

Bought radios before hunting season. Once in field one of the radios did not function properly.
tried to replace but exceed return or replace dead line. Will never buy electronics from amazon
unless use will be immediate !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tip don't buy electronics for Christmas way in advance
Under stand policy but there should be some exceptions.

First: as of right now in September, 2012, keep in mind that using the GMRS channels requires an FCC license. There is an effort to change that, and you'll want to make sure you're clear on that.
That's relevant because the GMRS channels appear, based on experimenting with these radios, to have better range and clarity than the FRS channels do.
Second: rechargeable batteries: this is good, but the recharge unit should be configured differently than it is. The only way to charge the batteries is in the radios in the base. That precludes getting extra batteries or using standard AA batteries while you charge your battery packs. That's a nuisance.
Third: 36 miles? Really? Maybe across open water. However, they worked from the house to the farm, about 3.5 miles away, with buildings and power lines in between. The range also covered from one deer stand to another and back to the truck. So, the range is really what you are going to expect. Keep in mind, range ratings are like dealership miles-per-gallon ratings: based on the ideal conditions in all ways.
Fourth: sound quality: this was surprisingly good. It went from clear to gone when out of range, rather than those annoying last few minutes of "did you get that?" Which always comes through like "Di__ ___u __et___ tha?" That's better: no doubts about whether or not the message got through.
Fifth: the Weather feature: good, but I have a beef with the NWS around here. I'll put it this way: the radio was picking up just fine, but the tornado warning didn't get broadcast on the nearest station, because, well, no one knows why. So, the feature works and picks up what is being broadcast.
Sixth: call feature on the radio: makes an irritating racket on the receiving end. Which works quite well to get someone's attention rather than having that person in the other room and not knowing you're on the radio.
Seventh: headset: these are ok, but I am either too dense to make them work with the VOX function on the radio or they don't support it. All in all, not bad though.
These are going in the survival kit and out to the woods this fall.

this do not work as described for 36 miles... I would not even think they work 2 miles. The rechargeable batteries have also died and dont look like they can be replaced. Overall in comparison to our other Motorola two way radios, these are not even comparable. I would not recommend these.

Bought these for use with a car club.
Makes organizing car cruises much easier than juggling cell phone numbers to get everyone on the same page.
They work great, lots of features. The weather radio helps when severe storms are approaching. The batteries are long lasting when on standby. Low power mode works well enough for most uses so even active the batteries last quite some time on low power mode.

It has better quality built than most of low end Motorola brand handheld radio. The loudspeaker produces decent sounds, clear display and tough body built. How ever the misleading of 36-mile distance printed, that assuming as fake value. Even transmitting at a field which flat ground surface (line of sight distance), it cant reach 50% of the claimed miles. Good for home use or a not critical job networking within 500 meters max.. ,
