On flat land (with no interference of any kind) this 2-way pushes to less than three miles. Put a 100 foot hill in the way and coverage is about 1500 yards with intense static.
DEEPLY disappointed.

Range in traffic or towns not as I expected. I knew I would not get the 36 miles as advertised, but did expect to get 10 to 12 miles.

Cons: No negatives I can find.




You just have to make sure you can see the other coach and there aren't mountains between the coaches to get reception.






There are some things I don't like, however. Compared to the GMRS Cobra radios, the squelch is not as good on these. I was hiking along with some friends a couple of months ago; two were Cobra radios, one at base camp and one with the hiker, and two Midland radios, one mine and the other my buddy's. The guy at base camp made a call to us and only the squelch on the Cobra radio was opened. The Midland radio's squelches stayed sealed. Yes, we were on the same channel and CTCSS code, I am not stupid. When we made a call to the guy at the base camp, we always heard him respond through the Cobra radio and not ours.
Another thing I don't like is the fact that it has "50" channels. In fact, every channel above 21 (or 22?) is just one of the lower channels with a privacy code. This gives people a false belief that their radio is better than others because it has 50 channels and theirs only has 21. It also is very frustrating when you are trying to scan the spectrum because it will also scan all of the false channels with the different codes, taking it a long times just to scan the true 21 channels. On top of that, it scans the channels like fat lady trying to run to the grocery store without her Hover round scooter to get the 80% off sale for a 48 pack of Twinkies. It is as slow as heck. That makes the scan feature almost useless because by the time it scans one channel, it will take it another 30 seconds to scan the same one again. Like on the Cobra radios I had (I sold them to the hiker friend), it would scan them like lighting and since it didn't have 50 channels, it scanned each one about every 4 seconds.
Those are mainly the huge factors of this radio, but here are some other pros and cons:
CONS: Not repeater capable, 28 fake channels, slow scan, not water proof (only resistant to splashes and rain), squelch is insensitive, battery charger keeps charging not matter what which can damage the life span of your batteries, customer service of the company sucks (I liked Cobra customer service better), doesn't have Rewind-Say-Again




Got them on sale which is even a better deal.
