This radio set is probably one of the best I have ever owned. Although there are some downers to this model, its ups outweigh the downs. The complexity of this radio is something I have always liked, and although its features are not much different than any other radio, they do tend to perform better. I go many places with this set, some of which include skiing, flying ultralight airplanes (which is what I use them most for), driving, boundary water canoeing for a week, hiking, and biking. With every situation, they perform exceptionally well in every aspect. In a hilly forest, I can usually get around 1-2 miles (3-4 if I turn the auto squelch off), but while I'm flying, I can stay in contact for around 20 miles (when the weather is good). I would definitely believe that if you could attach an external antenna to these like aviation radios have, that they would go the stated 36 miles in suboptimal conditions. When I am skiing, I can communicate with people all the way down the mountain while I am on the summit (as long as they too have 5 watt radios, not the 5mw FRS radios). The batteries will last an entire day (9-12 hours).
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

My son loves to play "Police and Criminals" which I guess is "cops and robbers" from the past. Only the police get to wear these great radios. They took the place of all the toy walkie-talkies we've had in the past. We also love them in the car whenever we travel with another car. Of course, in this day and age of cell phones, these are less of a novelty. But if cell phone service ever crashed, it's good to know we would have these .

I use this for hunting. The group I hunt with have been using radios for several years to keep track of each other and what is moving in the woods. The ear piece is stiff, but works well. The radio itself is rugged and for the first time I had a radio that was not producing a lot intermittent static. Worth the extra money over the cheap radios I had been using.

These radios are small waterproof and have excellent range. Great buy!
Got them on sale which is even a better deal.

I bought these as a Christmas present for my fifteen year old son. He loves them. The range is very good and the features are plentiful, battery life is not an issue and there are quite a few accessories that can purchased for them. Very good product.

Great little radios with big time features! While I haven't stretched the range on these, they work great for what I do(hiking, offroading and camping). For the price and options they can't be beat.

We use these in an industrial paint factory. They are effective from our office, through a couple of cinder block walls, all the way through our factory to the shipping department. Seem to hold up pretty well in this environment. And when it is time to replace one, it is cost effective. No complaints so far.

shipped within the stated delivery time, this was a much lower price than I could find anywhere ($49.99), worked a well as can be expected for this type of radio. In an area with rolling hills in the woods I was able to communicate to about 5 miles out. I have not yet tested the headsets but so far so good.

Used for staying in contact with several friends when on vacation and had excellent range despite being a few miles apart. When using these radios make sure of your elevation in comparison to the other members in your party, this will effect the range and quality of the radios.

Accidentally dropped our old one in a water fountain. (Didn't work after that!) Really like Midland the best (tried 3 other brands.) Haven't figured out the range yet but worked really well for a miles distance of thick woods. Surprised that they also work with my daughter's cheap-o Cobra walkie talkies! Very Happy with these so far!

Likes:
Works well, holds charge for long, as advertised, easy to carry, fully-featured.
Car and home charging is an excellent feature.
Dislikes:
Other than trivial operation, where it is just fine, this unit has complicated unintuitive menu system and set of features.
Granted, most of the time I do not care for these, but otherwise I carry the manual with the unit all the time, because it is difficult to remember.

Don't waste money elsewhere. These are great!
The charger is great and if you split the money with a friend they are a great investment.

Very durable and easy to use but I was hoping to get more than a mile out of it. Guess we have too many hills and mountains.

I really like the radios but the ear peices that come with it are uncomfortable and only transmit half the time, i went ahead and bought the Midland AVPH3 Transparent Security Headsets with PTT/VOX for under 20 bucks and they work great, so much clearer sound and more comfortable

Took this on a 4 day camping trip in Lake Tahoe (car camping). I was able to hear clearly through the radios. If you are going to a place with lots of mountains, trees, and other obstacles then it will affect the range. We were camped at D.L. Bliss National Park and was able to hear clearly from our other party at Baldwin Beach (2 miles). The voice quality declined when there were trees and mountains between us during the car ride from DL Bliss to Baldwin Beach. The power was set to "HI" as suggested to get maximum range. I enjoy all the features of this radio and will buy another set.
Some people had mentioned that they had problems with the battery. I thought I did too until I opened the battery pack and noticed that there is a piece of paper which noted "Please switch to 'Hi' power to get maximum range" stuck between the battery and battery terminal which limited the connection for charge.

I play airsoft and wanted something that would have no problem with thick woods, hills and Valley's and would do at least a mile. These radios did that and more. I was going to replace the headsets but the sound quality and as comfortable as they are I'm not going to. The menu is easy to navigate and understand. Battery life is better than expected. Both these radios were on for six hours with continuous use and they never dropped from a full charge. I would recommend these for anyone into Airsoft or paint ball.

This is a complete kit and the battery life is excellent. I have had these radio's for some time now and the only issue I have found is the distance. I don't think you could get 20 miles on them unless you were on water. Besides that they are constructed well and are very good quality.
